When terminated can they withhold your final check? |
[Edit] |
Answer
no. you have to be paid your final wages. it doesn't matter for what reason you were terminated. a lot of places tell you that you can't get your paycheck until you turn in uniforms or such but if you demand your check they have to pay you. if they refuse threaten to call a lawyer and go to court.
Answer
Check out http://www.dol.gov This is the US Dept. of Labor homepage, it can answer your questions.
Answer
Do not sue or go to DOL. Contact your state employment commission. Almost all states have a "payday law" requiring employers to pay final wages within X days (usually on the regular pay day for your last week).
Maybe.
If the employee has a garnishment order in affect or mandatory child support deduction, worked on a commission or expense account and so forth, the employer can withhold a final check until such matters are resolved.
