Re: final chack....
If you give at least 72 hours notices, they must give your check on your last day of work. If you quit without notice, they must give you the check within 72 hours of your last day.
An employer the fails to pay the last paycheck can be held liable for the amout of the check, interest and even additional wages as a penalty. The easiest way to pursue this is to file a claim with the labor board. They are very "employee friendly" and you do not need an attorney.
Re: final chack....
The employer has a grace period of 72 hours (Labor Code � 202) to get the check to you. If you didn't receive your check in that period, you can either file suit (small claims) or a complaint with the Labor Commissioner. Penalties accrue for every day -- up to 30 days -- that payment is delayed.

If you're asking what remedy do you have, file a claim with the Labor Commissioner for unpaid wages and penalties.
