What to do with Uncollected Checks?
With the end of the year coming you may notice that you have uncollected checks that were not picked up or were returned as “address unknown”.  In deciding how to handle this situation consider the following:
Aside from sending the check certified-mail to the employee/former employee, call the employee to give notification that their paycheck was uncollected. Always remember to document your actions.
Forward the check to the State Bureau of Unclaimed Property. Remember, the check is NOT property of the employer. The state will hold the item until a claim is filed helping the employer to satisfy their fiduciary responsibilities.
Report the wages on the W-2 form and pay all taxes due as if the payroll check had been cashed in a timely manner. Also, file and pay associated state unemployment and taxes pertaining to the uncollected check in order to avoid penalties.
