Wyoming rule applied to your case
Final pay due
Next regular payday
Wyoming sets the deadline as your next regular payday. The exact date depends on your employer's payroll schedule, so this tool can't pin it to a calendar day.
Late-pay consequence
18% annual interest, plus fees
If you sue for earned, unpaid wages and prove the amount due, Wyo. Stat. §27-4-104(b) lets the court award interest at 18% per year on the past-due wages, running from the date of separation or the date the wages were due, together with a reasonable attorney fee and the costs of suit.

Enter your last day worked to apply the rule to your dates.

This is the Wyoming rule applied to what you entered — a plain summary of the deadline, not a determination that any employer did or did not pay on time.

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 Wyoming final paycheck reference, cited to Wyo. Stat. §27-4-104 (amended 2019).

How Wyoming final paycheck timing works

Wyoming pays your final wages on the next regular payday, whether you quit or were fired. That is a change from the past. Before a 2019 amendment, Wyo. Stat. §27-4-104 forced an employer to pay a discharged worker within five working days, and an even older version of the law referenced 24 hours. The 2019 amendment replaced that accelerated deadline with a single, calmer standard: final pay is due on the employer’s usual regularly scheduled payroll date, or on a date set by a collective bargaining agreement. If your employer misses that deadline and you have to sue, section 27-4-104(b) lets a court add 18% annual interest on the unpaid wages plus your attorney fees and costs.

This tool applies the Wyoming 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.
