Walk It Through: The Final Paycheck

Let go on a Friday, no check by Saturday, a written demand, and a penalty that runs for up to 60 days.

A worker is let go on Friday afternoon.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

An employee separated from the payroll. Commission based pay that needs an audit, a worker who quits, and wages lost to an industrial dispute follow other rules in the same section.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
