My husband recently quit his job because he was employed at a higher paying job with an employer who is fair. Yesterday, he went to pick up his check and was told very rudely that he would not be getting his check unless he returned his card to the cash register. So today he brought it in and was told they didn't know where his check was, so he called his boss. She has been ignoring his phone calls, so he left a voice mail for her. She has yet to contact us, and I doubt she will. We're planning on taking it up with the owner tomorrow as he was treated unfairly his entire employment and is now getting the run-around about his check. Does anybody know if it is legal for the employer to withhold his check?
