Generally, if you are terminated, your employer must pay you your final wages immediately. See Labor Code section 201. If they don't, you may be entitled to a "waiting time" penalty under Labor Code section 203. Speak to an employment attorney about your situation for specific advice.

I agree. The only exception is an unexpected immediate termination for severe misconduct.
