More details to this question:
How long can an employer go without paying you? It's been 5 days since pay and I've only received a partial payment for hours worked. I am on salary, but other employees on hourly haven't gotten paid yet either. I live in North Carolina.

Employers are required to pay you all wages earned on the next payday for that period. You can file a claim with the NC Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division. Keep in mind that it is unlawful to fire you because you filed with the DOL, but that will not stop an employer from doing so.
