What are the rules in California about to whom we should be issuing the final paycheck (including accrued vacation) to for a deceased employee. Should it just be issued in the name of the employee and let the heirs/executors/probate try to unscramble it, or are there situations where we are obiligated to issue in other names? There seems to be a rule for surviving spouses in CA, but how about other potential beneficiaries?? |

I strongly suggest posting your question or searching for an answer at www (dot) payrolltalk(dot) com. That is a board much like this that deals mostly with payroll issues. And there are a couple of very good gurus over there. |

My sympathies for your loss, I always recommend that organizations have written policies/instructions that include this kind of situation. It can be very difficult, especially when you know the family is depending on you. |
