North Carolina:How long does my ex job have to give me all my wages that are do me?

Your employer has to pay you on or before the next regular payday for the pay period in which you worked when your separation takes place. Your employer may pay you early before the payday, but this is up to the employer. Your employer is within its rights to wait until the regular payday to pay you your final wages.

I recently gave my resignation to a company i worked for for 3+years. I get a base pay monthly and commissions on my sales. After resignation they are holding 2 commissions that have been closed on and are due to me. They want to pay me these on our May payday of the 31st but after April 28th I will no longer be on payroll. Can they do this? :(
