another HELP! need info on firing exempt

System

We are going to fire an exempt employee today. we have good reasons and some documentation. Not much because management has some sort of allergic reaction to documentation but that's just me venting.
The question is: are we required to pay him the full week or can we prorate it?
they are doing this today at around 11:30 am.

Since it is the terminal week, you can prorate the final week's salary based upon the number of days actually worked. That is provided for in the FLSA regulations. I doubt your state wage and hour laws provide differently but you should check them out as well.

If you already know this, please forgive me - In Massachusetts you've got to give the final check to him today with all accrued vacation time. But I don't know about the full week. Here's the state DOL info...maybe you'll get lucky and get someone to answer this quick question for you...

Got that covered rad. It was difficult to get finance or managers to do that but I finally have em trained.
Thanks for the info. I got a quick answer and that is that we can prorate it in MA.
Thanks to both of you!
