Can a employer hold your pay check? If you quit your job, can they hold your paycheck? Lets say until you return all your uniforms?

They are required by the Labor Board to provide you with compensation for the hours you worked, regardless of any other monetary dispute they may have with uniforms, etc; Unfortunately, most small companies just don't care, they'd rather get their stuff back than comply with the law. If they persist, you can certainly turn them in.

Employer has got right under the agreement executed between the employee and employer to hold the pay at the time of quitting job till he submit no due certificates from all the concerned departments of the company. Uniform provided must be returned. When all these formalities are completed, the employer has to release the salary.

Are you required under the terms of your employment to return your uniform upon separation of employment or be held liable for the cost?
If yes, you owe them the value of your uniform. However, if your uniform cost is $100 and your paycheck is for say $500, the owe you $400. If they fail to pay, you can sue them in small claims court, win the amount due, and possible damages. If your uniform cost is more than your paycheck, they may be able to hold it (within reason; they can't say a standard t-shirt is worth $800).
Best thing to do is to return your uniform. If you've lost it, calculate the cost vs. what they owe you. You may be able to contact the state department of labor for questions.

They can deduct the cost of the uniforms from the balance of your check. That must be one heck of a uniform to be worth a week's (or two) pay! Also, check your employment contract; they may have slipped a proviso in there regarding uniforms.
If you file a complaint, they will ask you to return the uniforms to resolve the dispute yourself; they have enough trouble on their hands already.
Barring any proviso, the FLSA requires that you be paid. Hopefully you can get their stinking uniforms back to them and get this resolved quickly.

The above answer is ideal on. also, it takes quite a lengthy time period for coverage businesses to procedure place of work paintings. there would nicely be a clause that once the place of work paintings went with the help of, you no longer were an worker. So technically you'd be responsible. i'd locate out from the coverage business enterprise the precise date it change into processed. also, change into it in writing someplace that the the relax will be coated? Or did someone merely allow you to recognize this? If its no longer a "rule", merely something powerful the dentist does for his workers, then he's not at probability of carry up this deal.

THey can hold it for you to come get it and bring in the uniforms, pr they can deduct the "cost" of the uniforms from your last check. I don't think the whole check can be held for more the 2 weeks.

Yes they can. If it is written in their policy or employees handbook they can do whatever they have in writing.
