Each state is different and it also depends on if he quit or was fired. The amount of business the company does and if they are an interstate company will affect whether or not they are governed by state reg's or federal.
Heres a link to Ohio wage and hour bureau. You should find something there.

Nothing that grand. Every state has a Department of Labor and Industry. Most states even have a place to file a complaint online. The law states an empliyer MUST pay on the day a check is due. Often time, letting the employer knwo you are filing with Labor & Indusrty will change their minds. L&I will fine them heavily along with them having to pay you plus penalties.
Post your state on here and I will be happy to look up for you.

federal law states that if you leave a job, no matter what the reason(s) are. Your employer must give you your final paycheck within 72 hours of leaving.

Every stat has better business bureau as well as consumer affair hot line. In the state of CA writing to the State Attorney General helps in a great deal.
Try that in your state.

You can report the employer to the labor board. They will contact the employer and light a fire under his back-side. Just have him go down to the local employment office. They will direct him from there.

By law he's entitled to his pay... please be sure that your husband has indeed not already been paid for his services. Yes, it's clearly against the law to withhold a final paycheck... if he has one coming.
