Receivers for the struggling department store chain moved to shut the store in the city's main street and another 20 across Australia, leading to job losses.
Sunday was its last day of trading from the shopfront it had occupied for a decade.
The Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association (SDA) reported last month as the axe fell the Dubbo store had eight employees, including two full-time, two part-time and four casuals.
SDA national secretary Gerard Dwyer said this week he could confirm employees would be receiving their full entitlements.
"Employees will be paid no later than the week following when they cease work," Mr Dwyer said.
"Some employees will be paid earlier."
Western NSW Business Chamber regional manager Vicki Seccombe said it was disappointing to see a large retailer like Harris Scarfe close its doors in a regional community like Dubbo.
"The loss of jobs and goods and services from Dubbo will be noticed, particularly when we are dealing with already challenging conditions due to drought and weaker household demand," she said.
"But large retailers are facing massive changes in their industry, and the move to online shopping is putting pressure on these large physical retail stores.
"Online growth is outpacing overall growth of retail sales, so these larger retailers are looking to review their physical footprint, resulting in store closures and a change in store formats.
"Retail is being disrupted and we will continue to see changes around this sector and the big end of town."
Ms Seccombe also identified opportunities.
"But we can also start to look at how we take a more control of our own situations in regional areas," she said.
"Traditional store formats may be on the decline, but innovative stores - ones that offer great shopping experiences - will continue to emerge."
