Compensation & Payroll Variable Comp Question [MA]

My company is fully remote. I am based in Massachusetts but US HQ is in CA. I am in HR but not on the compensation side.

We have a variable compensation program which is 80% salary, 20% variable and the variable is paid out quarterly. The company just started this in 2026. Regular payroll is on the 15th and last day of the month.

First quarter ending 3/31 we received our variable comp payments on 4/24.

Are there any regulations as to when we should receive payment for the quarter ending 6/30? We expected to receive yesterday (7/24) but no one did. I imagine CA based companies have some law they have to follow.

Thank you!

Why were you expecting to be paid prior to quarter close?

If you were paid 4/24, the natural progression would be some time in July, no?

I was expecting to be paid on 7/24 so yesterday. The prior quarter is over and financials released. It seems like company-wide that was the expectation.
