SEPTEMBER
2006 HR QUESTION OF THE MONTH
Q.
When is the final pay check due after an employee leaves
my company?
A. Upon
an employee's departure from the employer, whether voluntary
or involuntary, the final paycheck must be paid not later
than the regular payday for the pay period in which the termination
occurred. The final pay must be mailed if requested by the
employee.
Pay includes the employee's earnings whether paid on the
basis of time, piece, commission or other basis plus "benefits
supplements" which are expense reimbursements and vacation,
separation or holiday pay which the employer has promised
to pay at termination of employment.
