Is it legal to not be paid on the day you're supposed to be?

at my work we have direct deposit and on the 1st and 15th of every month, with the exception of holidays, my paycheck is deposited into my account. it was supposed to be deposited today and it wasn't. i called the office to ask what was going on and my boss said he ran payroll last night and that he doesn't know.
a co worker of mine had this happen to her 4 times in a row and she finally quit.

is this legal? if not, who can i report it to?

Direct deposit sometimes can take additional time to settle into an account, especially if an account with a credit union is involved. But, most payroll systems take 24-48 hours to process direct deposits. Your boss probably missed the deadline last night, and it more likely than not won't be there until tomorrow or even Friday. It sounds like your company may be having cash flow issues (late run payroll is a sign that there's little cash available). I would start looking around for other job possibilities.

Federal law sets the deadline at 15 days past the end of the next payroll.

Your State may have a more strict deadline.

It is still the 15th.
