Unlike virtually every other state, AL has not laws regarding the payment of a final paycheck. In fact, AL does not have any termination laws. Federal law covers such things as discrimination in the workplace; any such case is handled by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission whose office is in Birmingham. For other questions regarding termination, employees should seek the advice of an employment law attorney.
