Penalties
Michigan 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
Michigan does not require employers to pay out accrued but unused vacation upon termination. However, if your company policy states that vacation will be paid out, you have created a contractual obligation. Review policies carefully and be consistent.
