You shall pay them their wages daily before sunset, because they are poor and their livelihood depends on them otherwise they might cry to the Lord against you, and you would incur guilt.

When you make your neighbour a loan of any kind, you shall not go into the house to take the pledge. Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam on your journey out of Egypt.
