It was not direct deposited and it was not mailed to me. I don't have any deductions taken out because the benefits are too expensive. They owed me for personal time off hours.

Send your former boss a certified letter to your former place of employment. In the letter, "respectfully request to be paid in full for your services rendered for "X" days and "X" hours. Inform them that the company has not paid these outstanding balances for your labor, and that you want to be paid for the work that you have done." Give them your telephone number and address, and suggest a time and day to pick up the check. It should be simple and to-the-point.
However, If they continue to fail to respond, simply go to the county or city courthouse clerks office and begin proceedings for small claims court, and sue for balance owed and court costs.
Although two weeks notice is a courtesy, it by no means is a right or an obligation; however, they ARE obligated to pay you for your time that you have given to their company.
Just remember this simple phrase "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still"

First check your employment contract, if there is a clause that require you to give them 2 weeks notice. If you broke the contract, although they can't NOT pay you for the work you've already done. They could be upset enough to say that you've caused damages that are worth $150.
It is possible that if they feel you didn't leave on a good term, they want to hold back some money to make sure you didn't do any damages before leaving. Once everything is clear up they will pay you.
I would speak with HR to find out what the real scoop before deciding the appropriate action.

Whether you gave a notice or not has nothing to do with your pay. They cannot withhold it to punish you. Did you have any payroll deduction you are forgetting about? Not sure about all states, but by law most employers have xx amount of days to cough up your last check. Did you show up and they didn't have it for you? What was the explanation? Was it Direct Deposit?
More details would help.

Typically, paid vacation days are given AFTER employment for a certain amount of time. If you are employed less than the required amount of time, you may take vacation days but they might not be paid. If you boss pays you for the vacation days (try to find paycheck stubs) and it's on paper somewhere that you recieved *paid* vacation days, your boss can not suddenly change his mind and say he shouldn't have paid you and keep three days of pay from you. I would contact your local Division of Labor or a lawyer to find out specifics.

I think you will find that if you quit your job without giving the correct notice, that you forgo all your rights.
I think they may have to pay you for the time you worked, but if you were in a contract or the was some kind of agreement signed when you began work with this company, it would be in your best interest to find it and read up!

Call your former supervisor, HR, or payroll contact and inquire why you did not get a check. Since it is your last check, they may have mailed it. Did you borrow or overuse any vacation time. If so, they could take the amount out of your last check.

Not knowing more about your situation...
Your employer is obligated to pay you for the time you worked. Though if you quit w/o the standard 2 weeks notice, you might not get a good reference.
Call them if they don't make with the pay for the time you worked. If they don't pay you, hope you have documentation of that unpaid time worked, and contact the labor dept. if they don't pay you.

January ba's answer is good.
To the best of my knowledge, unless you have a written contract of employment, notice is not required.
Contact the Wage and Hours people at your State Capital.

I would call Human Resources and inquire as to why you did not recieve your check. You are entitled to pay for the days you worked prior to your departure.

Go talk to the compensation / payroll department. Explain the situation, if they need to they will bring in your old boss.
