Plain-language summary, not legal advice.
Informational only, not legal advice. Final-pay rules turn on details this summary cannot weigh (payroll schedule, disputed amounts, deductions). See the full rules and citations on the New York final paycheck reference, cited to N.Y. Labor Law §191(3); §198.
How New York final paycheck timing works
New York keeps final-paycheck timing simple: whether you quit or were fired, your wages are due on the regular payday for the pay period in which you left. Labor Law §191(3) makes no distinction between the two, so there is no shorter "fired" clock to chase. What New York does add on the back end is teeth for withholding — §198 allows liquidated damages of up to 100% of the unpaid wages on top of the wages themselves, plus interest and attorney’s fees. That is a damages remedy, not a California-style per-day penalty, but it can double what an employer owes.
This tool applies the New York rule to your last day worked. It is informational only and not legal advice — a "next regular payday" rule depends on your payroll schedule, and disputed amounts or deductions can change things. For the full rules, penalties, and citations, see the New York final paycheck reference.
