Most states require employers to give departing employees their final paychecks in fairly short order — sometimes on their last day of work. In some states, these time limits vary depending on whether the employee quit or was fired. Some states require employers to pay out accrued, unused vacation days with the final paycheck. In Pennsylvania, if an employee quits, is laid off, or fired, you must pay the employee all monies earned by the next scheduled payday.
