Employment Termination

The act of termination ends the tenure of an employee with a company. It can take many forms - from a layoff to a firing to somebody's voluntary dismissal. Regardless, your one-time employees may have certain rights following a departure, related to things such as paychecks, severance pay, and continuing healthcare coverage - your startup must be aware of the requirements it faces and what your terminated employees are entitled to under different scenarios.

Upon termination of an employee’s employment, the tech company must pay accrued wages and vacation upon termination.  If an employee quits without giving prior notice, the tech company employer must pay unpaid wages within 72 hours.  Under California Labor Code Section 206.5, the tech company employer cannot require that the terminating employee release of any claim or right on account of wages due, or to become due, or made as an advance on wages to be earned, unless payment of such wages has been made.
