How this is calculated

The deadline is the statutory maximum in North Dakota: When an employee is discharged, terminates employment or separates voluntarily, unpaid wages become due and payable at the regular payday (N.D. Cent. Code § 34-14-03). Voluntary separation is expressly covered: wages due at the regular payday. The penalty estimate uses North Dakota does not add liquidated damages to the employee's claim for a late final paycheck; a violation is a misdemeanour and the remedy is the wages through the Department of Labor or small claims court.

This is an estimate, not a legal determination. Penalty provisions usually depend on the employer acting wilfully, and a court or agency decides the final number. Use the result to decide whether to send a demand, not as a promise of what you will collect.
