If you are let go from a job, are they "required" to make your check available to you within 72 hours or can they make you wait until the next scheduled pay day?

You hail from Vermont, correct? Generally, under Vt. Stat. Ann. tit. 21, § 342(c)(2), an employer must issue a final paycheck to an employee who has been terminated within seventy-two (72) hours. On the other hand, an employee who has quit his or her job is not entitled to a final paycheck until the next scheduled pay date, or, if there is no scheduled pay date, on the Friday following the date of resignation. Vt. Stat. Ann tit. 21, § 342(c)(1). Good luck.
