How soon must an employer pay all unpaid wages after discharging an employee?

Within the next week
At the end of the current week
The end of the next business day following discharge
On the next scheduled pay date

The correct answer is: The end of the next business day following discharge

Employers are required by law to pay all unpaid wages to a discharged employee by the end of the next business day following the discharge. This requirement ensures that the employee receives their earned compensation promptly, which helps to maintain fairness and financial stability for workers who may suddenly find themselves without a job. Timely payment of wages is a critical factor in labor laws intended to protect employee rights and support their transition after termination. This law reflects the intent to minimize any financial disruption caused by losing a job, recognizing that employees rely on their wages for immediate living expenses. In contrast, the other options indicate longer timeframes that do not comply with the legal obligations regarding wage payment following termination.
