Final Paycheck Rights When You Leave a Job
Many states have laws that specify when departing employees must be given their final paycheck. Often, the time limit depends on whether you are leaving because you quit or because you were fired or laid off.
For example, in some states, employees must be given their final paycheck immediately or within a certain number of hours if they are terminated or laid off, but not until the next scheduled payday if they quit.
Some of these state laws also specify whether your accrued, but unused, vacation pay must be included in your final paycheck.
