    Paying terminated employees

    I'm curious how other sites are handling final paychecks for terminated employees. Our employee count is very seasonal (around 55 in winter, over 200 in summer), so we're dealing with a lot of employees leaving right now. Our state law gives us until the next payday to pay terminated employees, so we don't have to rush to give them a final paycheck as they leave. We started off being very diligent about recording separation/termination events in Payroll 7. Then we discovered that we couldn't pay separated employees. We changed a business rule to get around that problem. Now, though, we run the risk of paying terminated employees payday after payday. So we now go into the terminated employees' compensation/deductions tab and set an end date for their pay types. But that's just creates more opportunities to goof. (That date is the period ending date, not their termination date, which causes more confusion.) It seems like Payroll 7 shouldn't make it so hard to pay someone who is now terminated but worked during the pay period we're calculating. Blackbaud has a knowledgebase article (BB370766) telling how to pay a terminated employee. But it involves creating a new calculation batch for each terminated employee. When we've got over twenty to deal with at a time, that's not a good solution. How are you handling final paychecks to employees? Paul Higgins Green Lake Conference Center Green Lake, Wisconsin
