    Hello rob:

    It depends on the state where you live. Most states require employers to give departing employees their final paychecks in fairly short order -- sometimes on their last day of work.

    Many employers break these laws out of ignorance. They assume that paying the employee on the usual payroll schedule is sufficient. But violating these laws -- even unwittingly -- can be costly. In some states, if an employer fails to pay a departing employee within the legal time limits, the employer may have to pay additional penalties, interest, and the attorney fees and legal costs the employee has to spend forcing the employer to comply.
