Employers are not required by federal law to give former employees
their final paycheck immediately. Some states, however, may require immediate
payment. If the regular payday for the last pay period an employee worked has
passed and the employee has not been paid, contact the Department of Labor's
Wage and Hour Division or the
state labor department.
The Department also has mechanisms in place for the recovery of
back wages.
