To see what happens when people don’t work together, look no further than Washington, D.C. Instead of pooling their talents for a common goal and the common good, Congress is mired in gridlock, recrimination and petty squabbles. And nothing is getting done. Sound like your workplace?

The concept of escheatment and abandoned property doesn’t naturally come to mind when dealing with payroll operations. By definition, though, payroll can have unclaimed and abandoned property. .
