In AR, an employee who quits their job is not entitled to a final paycheck until the next regularly scheduled pay date. That is, so long as there is no written agreement between the employer and employee to the contrary. If more than this time has elapsed you can sue your employer in small claims court or file a wage complaint with your state's department fo labor.
