Severance Pay in Minnesota

Clare

Is it true that in Minnesota if an employee is fired and the company offers severance pay, that the severance pay MUST (by law) be paid to the employee on the date of his termination, or face a daily penalty? Thanks for any help!

I've never heard that, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Your best bet is to check with the MN Department of Labor and Industry. [url]www.doli.state.mn.us[/url] or call at 1-800-342-5354.
