All of your pay (wages, vacation, etc.) that is owed to you is supposed to paid to you when you terminate, at the time of (or on the day of) your termination. Some exceptions to this are funds being held for a 401k that do not meet the minimum requirements for an account. Funds in an employee stock purchase plan can also fall in this category. These can take 30 days or more to be refunded.
