Parting ways can be a difficult experience, particularly in the case of an employee. Crafting a termination letter for an employee is an even tougher task, especially if the person in question is a valued employee who has chosen to depart voluntarily. Matters become further complicated when it comes to disbursing payments to an employee who has been let go, as different states have different regulations on the matter. To ensure compliance with the relevant laws, payroll teams must be well-versed in the intricacies of employee termination.
Paying an ex-employee involves not just distributing the ex-employees final paycheck, but knowing how to properly handle and tax any severance or other benefits due, then integrating these payments with compliance regulations under COBRA or the Stimulus Act.
In this webinar, speaker “Dayna Reum” will go into detail about what employers face when paying terminated associates. The presentation will thoroughly examine all facets of compensating terminated employees while ensuring that your business remains in compliance throughout and after the termination procedure.
