“Paperless Pay” As all organizations strive to be paperless there will always be times, when we have to produce a paper paycheck to include new hires, terms, etc. In some instances, employee mindset and state pay laws sometimes make producing a paper paycheck more valuable. Because of this, we will always have to deal with unclaimed wages or escheat laws for those employees who do not cash a check. Each state has specific laws and requirements on how employers must report, remit and document amounts for checks that are uncashed by employees. Escheat or unclaimed wages can become a large compliance issue for employers.
