Q: When do I have to pay fringe benefits?
A: Fringe benefits such as vacation pay, sick
pay, paid holidays and pay raises are not required by law. Such benefits are
provided solely at the discretion of the employer. Payment of such benefits is
due when previously agreed to and the employee has met all requirements for
earning the benefit. Upon termination of employment all earned vacation
benefits are payable as wages with an employee’s final paycheck. Unless
previously agreed to, no other fringe benefits are payable upon termination.
Note, this is Nebraska law. Other state laws may vary.
