Hello orangian-ga,

Where you live determines what laws apply on the employer paying you
your final paycheck. In many states different rules apply if you quit
or if you were fired. Here is a summary of the laws for all the
states. Please don't hesitate to ask for clarification if this link

It always helps if we know where you live but I do believe the
guidelines are 72 hours.
