No, your employer has to pay your wages in the pay period when they are earned. And they have to pay overtime if you work more than 40 hours in any work week or more than 8 hours in any 24-hour workday. In California, you would pursue this unpaid wage claim by filing a complaint against your employer with the California Labor Commission.
