תלמוד על שבועות 7:1

MISHNAH: Wages of a human, as well as wages for an animal, as well as wages for implements are subsumed under “you must pay his wages on his day”⁷⁰If he is not paid promptly, the employer sins against “you must pay his wages on his day” (Deut. 24:15). and “one may not withhold a hireling’s wages until the morning”⁶⁹Since he works until sundown, he cannot be paid during the day. If he was not paid by daybreak the next morning, his employer has sinned against the rule that “one may not withhold a hireling’s wages until the morning” (Lev. 19:13).. When? If he claimed it. If he did not claim it, one does not transgress. If one gave him a draft on a storekeeper or a banker, he does not transgress. In his time⁷⁴The time when he has to be paid according to Mishnah 11. the hireling swears and takes⁷⁵The hireling claims that he was not paid; the employer claims that he did pay; neither of them has witnesses. Then the hireling is privileged; the court will allow him to swear that he was not paid and then order his employer to pay.; after his time he does not swear and take⁷⁶The ordinary rules of procedure apply: in the absence of proof the defendant may swear to absolve himself.. But if there are witnesses that he did claim, he swears and takes⁷⁷Even after the 12 hour period when he should have been paid. The unpaid hireling has to protect his claim by asking for his money in front of witnesses..
The resident proselyte⁸⁰He is a full Jew in contrast to the גֵּר תּוֹשָׁב “resident proselyte” who only keeps the Noaḥide commandments. is protected by “you must pay his wages on his day” but not by “one may not withhold a hireling’s wages until the morning”⁸⁵The verse Deut. 24:14 speaks of “your proselyte … in your gates.” The same expression is used in Deut. 14:20 to permit the sale of carcass meat to the resident proselyte. By the doctrine of invariable lexemes in the Torah, the expression in Deut. 24:14 refers to the resident proselyte. But Lev. 19:13 speaks of “your neighbor”; only the just proselyte is covered by that expression. (Halakhah 14; Babli 111b)..
