Oregon has very strict termination rules for when your employment relationship ends.
When an employment relationship ends in Oregon, you must pay the last earned wages within a specific time period:
--If your employee quits with less than 48 hours' notice (not including weekends and holidays) their paycheck and any wages owed are due within five business days or on the next regular payday, whichever comes first.
--If your employee quits with at least 48 hours' notice, their final check is due on their last day of employment, unless that day is a weekend or a holiday. In that case, the check is due on the next business day.
--If your employee is let go or fired, the final paycheck is due by the end of the next business day.
--If an employer and worker mutually agree to terminate the relationship, the check is due by the end of the following business day.
To be safe, we recommend that you pay all earned wages on their last day of work with you.

If you are currently paying with direct deposit, you will need to change your settings to employer check in the system in order to pay on your employee's last day. Their last wages can be paid with a physical check or a cash app, like Venmo or Zelle.
Go to Settings-->Employee Info, and then click the Edit button next to Pay Settings. On the first drop-down box, select Employer Check and then click Save & Reset Payroll. This will cancel the direct deposit in process and allow you to cut a check instead.
