Payment of Final Wages
Termination of Employment by the Employer
When an interruption in the employer-employee relationship by volition of the employer occurs, the wages or compensation for labor or service earned, vested, determinable, and unpaid at the time of such discharge are due and payable immediately, EXCEPT:
When the employer's accounting unit, responsible for the drawing of payroll checks, is not regularly scheduled to be operational, then the wages due the separated employee shall be made available to the employee no later than six hours after the start of such employer's accounting unit's next regular workday.
If the accounting unit is located off the work site, the employer shall deliver the check for wages due the separated employee no later than twenty-four hours after the start of such employer's accounting unit's next regular workday to one of the following locations selected by the employer:
a) the work site,
b) the employer's local office,
c) the employee's last-known mailing address.
Note: It is the policy of the Division of Labor that mailing of wages due to a separated employee is acceptable when the postmark is dated within the specified time periods as described above. For example, an employer with an off-site accounting unit may mail wages due to the separated employee via regular mail as long as the mailing is postmarked no later than twenty-four hours after the start of the accounting unit's next regular workday.
Hope this helps.

Colorado is a right to work state and they can fire you for any reason or no reason at all EXCEPT for illegal reasons (Sex, religion, country of origin, Age, and race) and colorado has no law in place requiring the employer to inform you why you were fired.
basicaly, if they don't want to tell you why you were fired then they don't have to. If you think it was for an illegal reason you need to hire a lawyer. I am also not sure are to the specific rules on last paychecks in colorado. I know that in Missouri they are supposed to give you the last check upon termination and if they don't you can sue them. Some states allow the check to come on the regular payday though, so check your state labor laws. Additionally, unless you filed for FMLA over your illnesses, your employer is perfectly justified in firing you over an illness even with a doctor's note.
