The best practice is to complete the employee's final check while the employee is listed as an active employee. When the employee's final payroll check is complete, return to the termination date box in the employee file and then record the actual date when the employee was terminated. Even if the actual date when the employee was terminated doesn't match the last date of the pay period.
Using this process will prevent Checkout errors for not processing employee benefits and it will include the terminated employee in reports. So remember to complete the payroll checklist and then enter the termination date in the employee file. That way, you don't have to use the pay period end date as the employee termination date.
