  • Paying Deceased Employee in FL

    We have an employee who passed away and still has wages due to him.  I am wondering if anyone knows what FL law is on paying deceased employees.  I know some states limit how much you can have going to beneficiary.

    It certainly can't hurt to read the statutes in FL but I would imagine you pay the estate.  Whoever handles payday law in your state will be able to answer the question.  In Texas, it would be the labor board.

    We had a similar situation . . . in Florida the wages of a deceased employee may be paid to the surviving spouse, any children over the age of 18, or the employee's parents, in that order (FL Stat. Sec. 222.15).
