$15 one time · Word and PDF · download link by email
Who it is for
Small business owners, office managers and bookkeepers handling a firing, layoff or resignation who need the final pay deadline and a clean paper trail.
Not the right fit if
Not a payroll service or legal review of a termination; a few states have no confirmed final-pay rule in the kit, and those rows say where to check.
Why it is different
- Covers all 50 states and DC from each state's labor agency or statute site, checked November 2026.
- Quotes each state's own wording next to the date, and leaves a state blank rather than guess.
- The workbook's dates match the free online calculator rule for rule, including payday-or-days limits.
What is inside
- Final pay due date workbook (Excel). State and separation picker that dates the final paycheck from the last day and next payday, a final pay calculator and a log for several departures.
- Start here. The three facts that set the deadline, the seven ways states word it, and the states with no confirmed rule.
- Separation checklist by state. Before, on and after the last day, plus every state's firing, quit and vacation rule with its official link.
- Final pay worksheet. Printable page to add up hours, overtime, commissions and owed vacation, and record how and when the check went out.
- Exit paperwork and records log. Paperwork handed over, property returned, accounts turned off and proof of the final payment.
