Final Paycheck Laws by State 2024

Departing employees are likely owed a final paycheck, whether they decided to leave voluntarily or were terminated by the company. Each state has its own rules for issuing an employee’s final paycheck, depending on how an employee leaves the company. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) protects employees against employers who fail to meet minimum wage or final pay laws. Here’s what employees should know about state laws and how Mosey can help you stay on track by state.

Telehealth Hiring Compliance for HR

Hiring telehealth providers across multiple states opens new markets, speeds patient access, and drives revenue growth. But every new state also adds a layer of legal risk. A single missed registration or delayed tax account can hold up onboarding for weeks. For telehealth companies, that doesn’t just mean administrative headaches—it means providers sitting idle, patients waiting longer for care, and revenue stuck in limbo. Getting this right doesn’t mean checking boxes after the fact. Compliance needs to be baked into your hiring strategy from the start.
