Terminated Employees – When to pay

Terminated Employees – When to pay
Terminated employees may demand to receive their final pay within 72 hours. Employees, websites, or newspapers may cite the 72-hour payoff provision contained in California Labor Code Sections 201 or 202.
These labor code sections are not applicable to school districts per the exemption for “municipal corporations” contained in Labor Code Section 220 and related case law. The Regular and Supplemental payroll cycles are legal methods of paying salaries for terminated employees.
When calculating pay for terminated employees, it is not unusual to have some delay while collecting documentation that may include adjustments for hours not worked, sick leave or accumulated vacation. There may also be extenuating circumstances for making a manual payment (if so, be sure to end the employee’s Assignment in Escape and verify correct pay amount). Nonetheless, effort should be made to pay terminated employees on the Regular or Supplemental payroll.
