The map of what you're owed

Color the country by final-paycheck deadline, waiting-time penalty, or 2026 minimum wage — then open any state for its statute-cited reference. Every figure traces to a state DOL or legislature; states still in verification read “pending,” never a guess.

How we verify

Every figure on every state page is sourced from a state DOL or state legislature primary page (or a federal page for FLSA-floor states). We do not use third-party aggregators (Nolo, Justia, Paycor, ADP) for the data fields. State minimum-wage tables update January 1 in many states — we re-verify the entire min-wage column every December.

If a row is marked verification pending, it means our researcher has not yet completed a primary-source check for that state. Federal floor (FLSA) still applies — see /federal.
