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!

- 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
