Your wages can not be held at anytime by your employer. This is illegal and you can file a claim against them for this with your Labor Dept. Now if they are withholding any of your wages because of back child support or an IRS lien than that is a differnent story and they will have to provide you documentation that this is what is being held and why.

I don't understand. Why would they hold it? You should get your pay when it's due. If you're paid monthly, then they shouldn't hold any of it longer than that. It's based upon your contract, regardless if there are any laws about it. If they're not paying you, you ought to be able to sue them. But I suspect your state also has laws covering pay withheld. Contact the Labor department of your state government and ask.

Not really no, unless there is some dispute over whether it was actually worked, or authorised, or there is a clause in your contract that allows retention etc. in which case you should be working it out with them.
Employment law is as simple as it is diverse, but in its basic sense you are obliged to turn up for work, on time, and conduct yourself to his standards and to his rules, and he is obliged to pay you.
My advice is check your contract and your employee handbook and take advice (ACAS are free) before you go steaming in

Over-time is supposed to be paid at the same time you receive your regular check. If they don't pay you on time, they can be fined, and they can owe you extra money for each day it's late. You're not giving us enough data to go on though. Are you paid by the week ? If you are then you're due your money one week later after the week ends.

no!
but some commision based jobs in sales, can ask for a retention... covers there backs if you mislead them with false sales leads... or cancellations...
they have to give you this back at the end of your employment... they usually find a reason to not... i wouldn't entertain a job like that!
