no they only have to pay you on the next regulare scheduled payday....if its two weeks away then you wait two weeks....however they can drop you to minimum wage in some states....by the way mindinchaos.....you need to double check your info....i live in florida and have been doing payroll for 18 years and i can tell you there is no law that says you have to be paid within 24 hours!

it all depends on the terms of your employment agreement. Were you still on probation when you were fired.
If there is money owing to you for previuos hours, you should still get the money on the regular pay day you would have been paid on whether or not you were fired. Keep in mind if you have any company property that you must return they have thre right to withhold your pay ....
Good luck

VERY subjective to the state you're in.
In Ohio, they have to pay you with the next payroll interval (so if you always were paid every 2 weeks, your last check will come in the same manner...)
Some states, they have 24 hours, some have to cut you a check on the spot..

In California if the employer chooses to fire/layoff (whatever they want to call it) THEY MUST PAY BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE PROPERTY. I received a days pay for every day (sat and Sun included) that my former employer neglected to pay me, to the tune of 4,000 dollars.
GET UR PAYCHECK BEFORE YOU LEAVE...
If not go directly to the labor board.

In FL they have to pay you within 24 hrs. Usually the next day!

State laws vary on this, but many places they have to pay you the same day or within three days.

Then you sue them. The burden of proof will be upon them to prove why they didn't pay you for work they already received. Furthermore, make sure you claim unemployment benefits. Again, the burden of proof will be upon them as to why they shouldn't have to pay you.

For the most part, No.
But they are supposed to pay you the following normal payday.

if you were fired on the spot no, but if this was a planned firing yes. call the local labor board and see what they say.
