The '&' symbol at the end of a command will put it into the background.

If you do that in a Slurm script, or in a script called from there, then 
that command can still be running when the main script exits and your 
job ends.

The way to fix that is to use the "wait" command to sleep until pending 
commands in the background complete.

Hope that helps!
