      Employer Requirements for Unclaimed Wages – How to Avoid Penalties and Fines

      Accounting, Payroll & Taxation

      Did you know that departing employees often don't collect all the wages owed to them? As a payroll professional, this becomes your problem to solve! 

      Each state has specific laws and requirements on how employers must report, remit, and document amounts for checks that are uncashed by employees. And to make matters worse, many states have started to crack down on enforcement and use unclaimed wages as a source of revenue. 

      It's every employer's responsibility to identify which paychecks have been left unclaimed by employees and turn them over to the appropriate state annually. But the truth is, most employers are unaware of this requirement and the penalties, fines, and interest that can be levied against them by the state. 

      That's why this webinar is so important. We'll explain when wages are considered abandoned, how to track and submit these checks to the appropriate state, and how to perform the required due diligence.

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.
