No he doesn't. He can only withdraw from the final amount any items, such as uniforms, that you may not have turned over to him. You should notify your local Department of Labor office if he has, in fact, withheld your final paycheck.

I'm not an expert in this field, but I would say it depends...If you just quit and have something the company owns (a uniform) and did not turn it in, then yes they can hold your pay check because you owe them something also. But if you just quit and don't have anything of theirs, they shouldn't be able to hold your money.
If you are at a professional career (not like McDonald's or something), I suggest you do AT LEAST 2 weeks notice. These are the people prospective employers are going to call and see if you are good.
Good luck!

Laws differ from state to state but in general you must be issued your check on the next regular payroll cycle. Not before and not after. If not, then contact the labor board
Deductions can be taken out only if your pay still adds up to minimum wage (child support and federal garnishments are exemptions to this rule)

Your employer still has to pay you, on the day that you and all the other employees normally receive your paycheques. He is not obligated to pay you early, and he can't withold payment for hours that you have actually worked. It's true that if you have company property at home (computers, uniforms, training manuals, whatever) he can deduct those costs IF you don't return them.

Your formal boss has no right to withold your final paycheck, regardless of your quitting circumstances. Even if you had his/her property, by law they MUST give you your paycheck.
If not paid, contact a lawyer and sue for wages not paid.

no they cannot. call them and ask for check. if they do not comply, inform them that you will be contacting both the better business bureau and the your state's attorney general's office and then do exactly that.
