Virginia's source data identifies Va. Code § 40.1-29 as the wage-payment statute for final-paycheck questions, but the research file did not verify a discharge or resignation deadline from the statute text, so this page does not calculate a due date. — Virginia Law — Va. Code § 40.1-29

What this calculator does not determine

Sources and verification

TOOL-ASSIGNMENTS.md lists Virginia final paycheck as a medium-confidence tool and names Va. Code § 40.1-29, but also marks the actual deadline as a gap because the statute text was not fetched in that research session. This page follows the absolute data rule by citing the statute and rendering no unverified deadline.

Common questions

Why does the Virginia page not calculate a date?

The source data confirms Va. Code § 40.1-29 as the relevant statute but explicitly says the deadline was not verified from the statute text. The site rule is to render no unverified figure, so the calculator withholds a due date.

Is this a legal conclusion that Virginia has no deadline?

No. It is only a source-status result. The page does not say Virginia lacks a deadline; it says the deadline was not populated as verified source data in the research file available to this build.

What should be verified next for Virginia?

A future research pass should read Va. Code § 40.1-29 directly and record the exact final-paycheck timing rule, any discharge-versus-quit distinction, and any penalty or enforcement provision before a date calculator is enabled.
