Employers are not required by federal law to give former employees their final paycheck immediately. Some states, however, may require immediate payment or payment within a specific time period.
Tennessee Code §50-2-103 (g) requires that for voluntary and involuntary termination the final paycheck is due at the next payday or 21 days following the termination date, whichever occurs last.
