New Jersey § 34:11-4

§ 34:11-4.

Whenever an employer discharges an employee, or when the work of an employee is suspended

as a result of a labor dispute, or when an employee for any reason whatsoever is laid

off, or whenever an employee quits, resigns, or leaves employment for any reason,

the employer shall pay the employee all wages due not later than the regular payday

for the pay period during which the employee's termination, suspension or cessation

of employment (whether temporary or permanent) took place, as established in accordance

with section 2 of this act; 1 or in the case of employees compensated in part or in full by an incentive system,

a reasonable approximation of all wages due, until the exact amounts due can be computed;

provided, however, that when any employee is suspended as a result of a labor dispute

and such labor dispute involves those employees who make up payrolls, the employer

may have an additional 10 days in which to pay such wages. Such payment may be made either through the regular pay channels or by mail if requested

by the employee. 1
