More details to this question:
i.e. pay period is designated as the 26thof the previous month to the 25th of the present month. But when the employer wants to, he holds back 2 or 3 days that were worked and will only accept timesheets for the 26th to the 22nd. Then he adds the 2 or 3 days to the following month's pay period.

The employer can change the pay date as long as he notifies the employee in writing before the wages are earned. Otherwise, it would be unlawful.
