If you have property belonging to someone else, such as wages of your employee, you are required by state laws to contact the owner, and if that fails, turn the property over to the state’s Unclaimed Property division. Specific laws for each state differ on your obligation to reunite the property to the owner. Check your state’s unclaimed property website for details on reporting.
