A Maryland Request for Final Waiver of Open Costs is a form, issued by the Maryland Department of Labor, that businesses can use to request a waiver of the costs associated with the open period of an employee's contract. The form must be completed and submitted to the Maryland Department of Labor within 90 days of the open period ending. The form requires information such as the employee's name, address, contact information, and length of the open period. It also requires the employer to provide a detailed explanation of why the waiver is being requested, and any documentation to support the request. There are two types of Maryland Request for Final Waiver of Open Costs: one for non-exempt employees, and one for exempt employees.
