It's been my experience that the "final paycheck" is usually a paper check.
Something to do with taxes I think.  However, it's almost always spelled out 
in
the severance agreement.  When I didn't get my final paycheck on what would 
have
been payday, I called my former employer.  Turns out they FedExed the final
check to all the former employees.  I was already working, so I wasn't home to
sign for it.  I had them messenger it to me at my new job.
