Firm has not made payroll in a month. Hwever they pd hlth ins for Aug & md HSA depsit. Shd I tel thm I got job

Question

They never terminated us. I knew it was coming and got another job. Since owner wd not tell anyone I had to tell a guy going on vacation not to spend too much as he would not be paid. Since I have a job do I need to tell these guys I no longer am working for them. I did tell owner's son that I was getting another job if they did not make payroll. Do I need to remind him?

Answer 1

The company may be trying to re-group. If they have not closed the doors, they may not be out of business. I believe the appropriate and professional thing to do is to officially quit in writing. Saying you are going to look for another job is not the same as getting/having a new job. In your written resignation I would state that they can mail your final check, including all back pay, to your address on file (or wherever you want it sent).

Answer 2

You should always tell someone when you quit. As far as the HSA is concerned, they will work that out with the HSA administrator. They should send you a letter asking for any over deposits back. They can't take it back without your permission so don't spend it.
