Employers with remote employees still must meet final pay requirements and may be subject to waiting time penalties when those requirements aren't met. Final pay requirements may be especially difficult to meet when employees are working remotely.
Currently, by law, employers must provide the final paycheck at the time and location that a severance occurs. With remote workers, however, employers can’t really do that in person. Once the employee has their employment severed, they must be paid their final pay, including owed vacation and paid time off, to the best of the employer’s ability.
For example, employers may choose to add the appropriate waiting time penalties to the final paycheck — which is one day of wages for every day the final paycheck is late, up to 30 days — and then mail the check with overnight delivery to the employee.
