Why Compare State Payroll Requirements?
Payroll compliance varies dramatically across the United States. While federal laws like FLSA set baseline standards, individual states add their own requirements for minimum wage, paid leave, final paycheck timing, overtime rules, and more.
For example, California requires immediate final paycheck upon termination and mandates daily overtime after 8 hours, while Texas allows 6 days for final pay and has no daily overtime requirement. California mandates paid sick leave; Texas does not. California has state income tax up to 13.3%; Texas has none.
Understanding these differences is critical for multi-state employers, companies planning expansion, and anyone managing remote employees across state lines.
