if an employee voluntarily quits, how much time do we have to pay him?
When an employee voluntarily resigns, the amount of notice the employee gives determines the due date for the final paycheck. If an employee gives less than 72 hours notice (clock hours, not business hours), you have 72 hours from the time of notice to issue the final check. If an employee gives more than 72 hours notice, the final paycheck is due on the employeeâs last day of work.
