Q: After employee is terminated, how long does employer have to send final paycheck to employee?
What is considered employee retaliation? If employee didn't show up for work one day deliberately so, does employer have to pay out for that day?
A:
In North Carolina, the employer must provide the final paycheck on or before the next regular payday.
You will need to provide more information about the employee who did not show up for work one day.
Is this a salaried employee who worked remotely or worked a partial day?
Is this an employee who worked remotely and simply did not show up to work in the office?
Why are you concerned that not paying the employee would be considered retaliation?
