Does My Former Employer Have the Right to Withhold My Final Paycheck?

Do not accept what your employer tells you at face value. Employers will take every opportunity to look out for their best interests, even going so far as to:

• Withhold the final paycheck of an employee who was injured on the job until he or she agrees to sign a release of company liability
• Make deductions beyond the standard federal/state withholding, medical and retirement deductions
• Withhold the final paycheck of an employee who the employer believes is liable for damage to company property
• Deliberately recalculating an employee’s wages to deny him or her full pay or factoring in a repayment for a loan or advance the employer provided to the employee

While an employer’s responsibility to issue you your final paycheck can differ depending on what state you are in, in most cases, your former employer does not have the right to withhold your final paycheck or make any deductions from your paycheck beyond the standard deductions. If your former employer is violating your rights in this way, discuss your concerns with our employment lawyers. We can help you decide what your best option is to make sure those responsible are held accountable and you recover what you are owed.
