Calculating and administering final pay for departing workers raises a host of complicated questions. Is accrued vacation considered part of an employee's final pay? When is the final paycheck due? Does it matter whether the worker's employment ended voluntarily or involuntarily? These are just a few of the questions you must be prepared to correctly answer—or put your company at tremendous legal and financial risk.

Join us for an in-depth, interactive 90-minute webinar all about final paychecks. Our expert—a seasoned California labor and employment attorney—will answer the questions above. You'll also learn:

  • Whether you can legally deduct for company property the departing worker has damaged or failed to return (such as keys, cellphones, laptops, and uniforms)
  • How voluntary versus involuntary terminations could affect the timeline for issuing final pay
  • How compensation owed for unused vacation time, sick time, and personal time is generally calculated
  • What you can do if you've overpaid a worker
  • How to respond if a worker claims you still owe compensation
  • The penalties you could face for not complying with final paycheck rules
