When a company loses a member of its workforce it can be a tough time for both the family and the team. And while employers are concerned for the family, they must consider final wages, tax implications, legal documentation, and state laws governing final payments.

For instance, what would you do if the wife of a deceased employee requested the final funds be paid to her directly? Under some circumstances doing so might require you to pay them out a second time. Try explaining that to your boss!
