Can my employer send finial pay check by mail after I was terminated?
Question Details:
I was fired and was not notified. Termination papers and final paycheck was sent to my address on file, I didn't receive it for about 6 -7 days. Is sending finial check by mail against state labor laws? If not does the employer have to ensure that mail is received in a timely matter? Not 6 days later.
Employment and Labor Law Answers
There is no law prohibing an employer in Florida from sending an employee's final paycheck to the adress they have on file. The law requires payment within a reasonalbe time. If they did not mail the check until 6 days after the normal payday, this could be a technical violation of the law, but not serious enough to warrant bringing any type of legal claim.
