Hello gilly:
Seems to me that you are owed a weeks pay. They are also required to pay you within 24 hours after you've been fired. If they don't do either, sue them in small claims court. Let a judge decide. The worst that can happen is you lose. Big deal. It only costs about $75 to bring a lawsuit.

If you are salaried exempt you must be paid for each day or part of a day that you are working. You should be paid for two days work. Hours do not count as you must be paid for the whole day.
The employer does not have to pay you for a whole day that you are off since you did not work the rest of the week you are only paid for two days.

The laws on this can vary as to laws of various states, the most common procedure is to be paid a per day rate figured by your weekly. Some companies will pay out the entire week as a company procedures others will not. As for as when you get your money, a few places require pay within 24 hours or less, but others merely pay at the next scheduled pay period.

Hey ex,
I noticed the cost has dropped by $25 since your post earlier today?
Did someone start "drilling" for small claims cases? LOL

I might add a note to the answer, if you are salaried exempt and you are out on sick leave , suspension not for misconduct, or Jury duty than you can not be docked for the time. If there is a PTO , sick pay or vacation plan the company can use those hours to pay you for the time with or without your permission. If you are out for personal reasons, suspension for misconduct or if you quit before the week is up you do not get paid for the whole week only the days worked.
The company can use PTO and Vacation time in 1/2 day increments but they cannot dock for 1/2 day for exempt employees.
