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

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.
