If you were discharged, then you should have been paid on the day of your discharge. If you resigned, then your employer had 72 hours to pay you.

An employee not timely paid his final wages is entitled to certain penalties under Labor Code Section 203. If you believe you have a claim for penalties and want to enforce it (or if you do not get paid your final wages), you can file a claim either in small claims court or before the Labor Commissioner.
