Massachusetts labor laws do not require employers to provide employees with severance pay.
There are no circumstances under which an employer can totally withhold a final paycheck under Massachusetts law; employers are typically required to issue a final paycheck containing compensation for all earned, unpaid wages.
Since most employers interview fewer than 10 candidates for a position, only 2-3% of applicants will receive an interview on average. There are exceptions, however.
How long does my employer have to deliver my last paycheck after I quit or am terminated? Generally, the employer has a reasonable time to pay you your last check, usually within 30 days. The most common requirement is that you be paid by the next payday when you would have been paid.
Wrongful termination occurs where an employee is discharged for unlawful reasons, which can include discrimination based on a protected class or retaliation. Employees who suffer a wrongful termination may bring a claim under both state and federal law.
Massachusetts lawsPayment of Wages. In most circumstances, if you are fired you should be paid in full on your last day. "any employee discharged from such employment shall be paid in full on the day of his discharge..."
Although it seems almost impossible to believe, employers in Massachusetts, or in any other employee-at-will state, can fire any employee at any time for any reason or even for no reason at all. An employer can terminate any employee, with or without notice.
Massachusetts law is clear; if you were terminated or laid-off, you are owed your last paycheck on the same day. If you quit, you are owed your final paycheck by the next regularly scheduled payday. So, if you normally are paid every Friday, and you quit, you should receive your last paycheck on that Friday.
