I gave a four day notice at my current employer. I currently work in collections We are not held under any contracts for a specific period of employment. Is my employer required to have my final pay on my last day because I gave more then 72 hour notice?

Re: Final pay check
If the employee voluntarily quits, and provides at least 72 hours notice, their final paycheck is due on their last day of work. If the employee voluntarily quits and provides less than 72 hours notice, the final paycheck is due not later than 72 hours after notice is provided. Additionally, the employee can request that their final paycheck be mailed to them, and the mailing must occur within the 72 hour period. (Labor Code � 202.)
