1Opinion of the Court
RYMER, Circuit Judge:
This appeal requires us to decide whether California violated the minimum wage provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), 29 U.S.C. §§ 201-19, by paying wages 14-15 days late because there was no state budget, and thus no funds appropriated for the payment of salaries, on payday. The district court granted a summary judgment declaring that the failure to issue paychecks promptly when due violated the FLSA. We agree, and hold that under the FLSA wages are “unpaid” unless they are paid on the employees’ regular payday.
