FINAL EMPLOYEE PAYCHECK

Q: How quickly must an employee’s final paycheck be issued if they are terminated or quit? I had an employee that quit and said that I had to give him a paycheck that day.

A: Nebraska law requires that final wages be paid on the next regular pay day or within two weeks of the termination, whichever is sooner. This law applies regardless of whether an employee is terminated or voluntarily quits.



Note, this is Nebraska law. Other state laws may vary.
