Halacha 3ג׳

הלכות שכירות. יש בכללן שבע מצוות – שלוש מצוות עשה, וארבע מצוות לא תעשה; וזה הוא פרטן: (א) דין שכיר ושומר שכר; (ב) ליתן שכר שכיר ביומו; (ג) שלא יאחר שכר שכיר אחר זמנו; (ד) שיאכל השכיר מן המחובר שיעשה בו; (ה) שלא יאכל השכיר מן המחובר שלא בשעת גמר מלאכה; (ו) שלא יוליך השכיר בידו יתר על מה שאכל; (ז) שלא יחסום שור בדישו, וכן שאר הבהמה.

LAWS OF HIRING. These comprise seven precepts, three of which are affirmative precepts and four are negative precepts. The detailed enumeration is as follows: 1) the law of the hired man and of the depositary for hire; 2) to pay the hired wage punctually; 3) not to delay the payment of the hired man's wage after it is due; 4) that the hired man may eat of the unsevered fruit at which he was working (at harvest time); 5) that he may not eat of the unsevered fruit when he is engaged in work at other times; 6) that the hired man must not take anything in addition to what he consumes; 7) that one must not muzzle the ox when he is treading out the corn; this rule applies also to other cattle.
