Issuing Final Paychecks: Requirements for Terminated Employees
Processing a terminated employee’s paycheck correctly is a challenge. Payroll must understand the proper way to handle the final payment for non-exempt and exempt employees. Not only is there a landmine field of state and federal wage and hour laws addressing compensation, but the withholding or taxation may even change for this one payment!
Employers must comply with a whole host of regulations, or risk extensive penalties and potentially costly litigation. Many questions need to be asked before that final check can be processed, and to ensure compliance. Join our 60-minute program to get the answers you need! You’ll discover:
- State-by-state review for issuing the final paycheck to terminated employees
- Voluntary v. involuntary termination: Does that change the payment due date?
- How to handle vacation pay including when employees owe vacation days
- Keys to managing child support and other deductions from the final paycheck
- Impact on the final paycheck if the employee is now deceased
