Penalties
Indiana does not have specific statutory penalties for late final paychecks. However, employees may still file wage claims and employers could face other consequences.
PTO/Vacation Payout
Indiana law does not require employers to pay out accrued vacation upon separation. However, if your employee handbook or contract states that unused vacation will be paid at termination, you have created a contractual obligation and must honor it.
