Pursuant to MT law, employees who quit must receive their final paycheck on the sooner of: the next regular payday for the pay period in which employee is separated, or 15 days from the date of separation.
Note: This assumes that the employee did not agree or otherwise voluntarily enter into another express arrangement with their employer.
If you feel that your rights have been violated you need to contact MT's department of labor for further information.
