Paying Terminated Employees
When employment terminates, there are certain things you'll have to take care of, including issuing the employee's last paycheck. If possible, it's best to give the check to the employee on the last day of employment. In some cases (for instance, when you fire an employee), you may not have enough time to prepare the paycheck before the employee leaves. In that event, you should get the check to the employee as soon as possible.

State laws. Some state laws require that you get the employee's last paycheck to him or her within a certain number of days. Click on your state on the map below to see what your state requires. States that are blue have no provisions for termination pay.
