You're welcome to speculate all you want as to whether one needs to wait 3 days, 7 days, or 15 days after an employer has failed to provide compensation before resigning, and have it still be classified as an involuntary separation, in the state's view -- and act accordingly -- if that's how you roll.

My advice to the poster is that he simply check explicitly as to what the regulations say, before taking the plunge -- rather than simply guess, and hope for the best after the fact.
