NOTE: The law changed on November 1, 2020 about when your employer has to pay you after your employment terminates. The new law is below. The old laws apply to terminations before November 1st. Contact Employment Standards for more information.   Regardless of how your employment ended (you quit or your employer terminated your employment), your employer has two options on when to pay you: They can pay you 10 consecutive days after the end of the pay period in which the termination happens. For example, if your employment ends on a Tuesday and the pay period ends the following Friday, your employer would pay you 10 days after the Friday. They can pay you 31 consecutive days after your last day of employment. The choice is up to your employer, not you. Last Reviewed: November 2020
