Nebraska Final Paycheck Law

Nebraska final paycheck deadline for fired and resigning employees, with the statute and a calculator that returns the exact date your last check is due.

Last update

October 19, 2026

Nebraska's rule, Neb. Rev. Stat. 48-1230, keys the deadline to your regular payday. In full: Next regular payday or within 2 weeks, whichever is sooner. Pick the separation type, enter the last day and your next payday, and the calculator returns the latest date you can legally pay. Accrued PTO payout is a separate Nebraska rule and is not included. Related: the Nebraska minimum wage, the HR compliance risk check for the termination process, and the all-state calculator. Nearby: Iowa, Kansas and Colorado.
