Upfront, I normally am not for legislation. However one thing that's been on my mind lately has been the lag between work and getting paid for that work. Even for regular employees. The days of being paid 1x / 2x per month, IMO, stem from when we had to cut a corporate check to pay someone. A check sometimes meant two signatures required. This was massive overhead and thus we wanted to batch them and do them as infrequently as possible.
Today payments are easily automated and extremely inexpensive.
I see little reason one couldnt be paid at the end of a work day or even more continuously such as per calendar day or what have you (ie there are ~22 work days per month, but ~30 calendar days) ... I could see a good pro labour legislation being to get paid daily for companies with automatic deposit or over size X.
Things like payday loans wouldnt make as much sense if you've already been paid 14/15ths of your pay up to that point and you're going to get the last 1/15th within 24 hours.
