GO TO the State Labor Board for your state. They have no right to withhold his pay. They can even be fined for doing so. When an employer lets you go they MUST PAY on the spot. If he were to quit they have 72 hrs to pay I do believe. Don't let the employer get away with this they may have done it before but they need to be stopped. This will teach them a lesson. It may seem an inconvenience for your husband to go to the labor board and file the claim but in the end he will will be happy. You will be amazed at what you find out when you visit the State Labor Board website.

Depending on the circumstances between both your husband and the employer, there may be details outlined in the application of the employer for employee to comply with before receiving final compensation. If indeed all compliances were met satisfactorily under signed agreement/application-company rule/regulations form(s) then he/you may want to contact the Better Business Bereau, local news/media (whistle-blower type hotline), and/or local authorities. Perhaps even the threat of an attorney my losen the grasp his former/previous employer has on any/all due compention(s). There are attorneys who speacialize in such matters in the local yellow pages and many offer free consultation. Good luck!!

It is illegal for an employer to hold your husband's check. Contact the state attorney general's office and file a complaint. The employer does have the right to deduct any charges from the last paycheck so there is a grace period of usually one extra pay period in which they can determine if any deductions need to be made. if 30 days has passed you can sue them.
If it is a proprietorship (single person owns), then you have to go to small claims court and fill out the paperwork. They will help you fill it out and it is usually located in your city or town at the municipal court.

Your state's Department of Labor might be interested in this. In some states, that kind of thing can get a business's license revoked. After checking out the state's information, you might want to consult a locally licensed employment attorney; free consultations are common. Good luck.

Maybe your husband got caught shagging the bosses wife. If so, he should have been canned.
