Weekly, with limited exceptions (some employers may get approval for less frequent pay, but at least twice a month).Source

Pay stub law

On every regular payday, employers must give each employee a statement of hours worked in the pay period (with some exceptions) and a record of all deductions with an explanation of each. Statements may be electronic, but the employer must provide a printed copy free of charge if the employee asks in writing.Source
