CCH® PAYROLL — 5/12/08

MD employers pay no accrued leave if notice given and policy in place

As of April 24, Maryland employers must notify employees at time of hire not only of the rate of pay and set paydays but also of any leave benefits. Following a termination of employment, the employer must pay the terminated employee or his or her representative all wages due for work the employee performed, on or before the date the employee would have been paid if not terminated. However, an employer would not be required to compensate a terminated employee for accrued leave if the employer has a written policy in place that limits compensation of accrued leave; the employer gave notice of leave benefits at time of hire; and the employee would not be entitled to payment for accrued leave at termination under the terms of the employer's written policy. (S.B. 797, Laws 2008, approved and effective April 24, 2008.)
