Why would you give them this much time? In the US if you’re fired/laid off you generally are legally due your last check within a day or so.
- red-iron-pine 4y agoThis varies by state, and by if you are fired, quit, or are terminated for cause (which is different than being fired). Usually it's 72 hours, or even the same day if fired. I'd agree with the parent poster: demand 72 hours for the check, or else give me a guaranteed date within a week. If they can't give you the check or dates, or if they miss the date, immediately escalate to state / legal / etc. resources.
- lisasays 4y agoI stand corrected - for a regular employee situation, "a regular pay cycle" (per FLSA standards) is required. So the demand should be for immediate ("-ish") payment, as above.
