Final settlement delivery checklist

Use this checklist when final salary, commission or another approved amount becomes ready after somebody leaves. It concerns delivery and records, not the legal calculation of a settlement.

Confirm the final statement

• The true departure date remains accurate.
• The person appears on a separate unsettled-recipient list where appropriate.
• Employer, settlement period and payment type are identifiable.
• The amount has completed the existing calculation and approval process.
• A personal delivery address remains under the former employee's control.

Deliver and review

• The preview contains the correct person, period and version.
• The recipient knows what the final statement explains.
• Acknowledgment is requested only according to the actual process.
• Missing receipt is investigated using the original batch reference.
• Actual payment is recorded separately from statement delivery.

Preserve the usable record

• Required distribution or acknowledgment information has been retrieved and inspected.
• Any correction is linked to its earlier version.
• Historical access and service-exit conditions have been confirmed where needed.

Example: A worker leaves at the end of one period; a commission amount is approved later. The later statement identifies the commission period and amount type, goes to a verified personal address and is kept with its own delivery record. It does not inaccurately make the worker currently employed or state that acknowledgment proves payment.

Explanations and steps

• How can former employees receive final pay or commission details?
• Does payslip acknowledgment prove that salary reached the bank account?
• Send final pay or commission details to a former employee
