Managing termination pay requires knowing the federal and state laws. Human Resources and Payroll professionals must know the proper way to handle the final payment for non-exempt and exempt employees. Although the State will mandate how and when employees should receive their final payment, it’s the employer's responsibility to ensure all payments such as dismissal pay, severance pay, stock options and golden parachute payments are accurately paid in a timely manner.
This training session covers the laws and procedures affecting when and how to pay terminated employees.
