Questions

Frequently asked

When is final pay due after a termination?

It depends on the state. California requires final pay immediately at an involuntary termination, while other states allow until the next regular payday. The guide's state notes cover CA, NY, IL, TX, and FL.

Do I have to offer severance?

Federal law doesn't require it. Severance is often paired with a release of claims, which should always be reviewed by your legal counsel.

Is this legal advice?

No. ModuleHire HR guides and templates are general guidance. Review anything that affects an employee with your legal counsel before you use it.

How do I get the files?

Right after checkout you get a download page and an email link. Everything you buy also lives in your library at hr.modulehire.com/library.html, so you can download it again any time.

Which states do the guides cover?

Guides on topics where state law matters, such as pay, leave, hiring, and terminations, include state notes for California, New York, Illinois, Texas, and Florida alongside federal rules.
