Course Overview

Are you having trouble navigating the complex landscape of processing a terminating employee's paycheck? Look no further! Our online course by Vicki Lambert is designed to equip payroll professionals like you with the knowledge and understanding needed to ensure compliance and get the final check right.

Processing a terminating employee's paycheck correctly can be a daunting task. With a minefield of state and federal wage and hour laws to navigate, along with potential changes in withholding and taxation, it's crucial to have all the answers before processing that final payment.

Consider these scenarios: Does the date for payment change if the employee is terminating voluntarily rather than involuntarily? What about taxation in the unfortunate event of an employee's passing? Can you deduct vacation pay from the final check? And what if the employee hasn't returned tools, equipment, or uniforms?

Our CE Tax webinar covers a wide range of topics to address these crucial questions and more. Here's what you can expect:

  • Understanding federal & state wage and hour laws, and State-by-state review of payment deadlines
  • Navigating accrued vacation pay, Recouping negative vacation balance, and overpayments
  • Handling payments for deceased employees, and Deductions for missing or unreturned items
  • Processing child support, tax levies, and creditor garnishments
  • Fringe benefits and their impact on final paychecks
  • Year-end considerations and record retention

Don't let the complexities of processing a terminating employee's paycheck overwhelm you. Equip yourself with the knowledge and understanding needed to ensure compliance and get the final check right. Join our program today and empower yourself with the expertise to navigate this challenging terrain with confidence.

Remember, the success of your business depends on getting every detail right, even in the final stages of an employee's journey. Let us guide you through the intricacies of terminating employees and help you process their final paychecks with precision and compliance. Sign up for our CPE webinar today!
