He took out an re-hire fee for my position(He is not going to fill the position) and an early leave of job fee. All totaling $5,000.00 so actually my last two checks were not paid out.

There is some thing there not right if it is as you stated, if money is owed to you then walk into the office in a respectable manner, take what is sent to you along and make it known that you dont quite understand what is going on with your check so if they could clear up the matter by explaining it to you, you would be most delighted, if what you ask is not given to you then take the matter to labour board, through the state and i am pretty sure they will give you all the advise you need to get what is been owed to you. good luck.

It sounds like he is making up ways to keep you from getting your money. I have never heard of a re-hire fee that is ridiculous it is not your problem if he can't hire another person to do your job. And a Early Leave of Job fee??? Did you have a contract with him? If you signed a contract that said you would be there for a set amount of time then it is possible he could say that. But last I heard jobs were not the same as a lease I don't believe he can claim these charges. And I know that they can not take it out of your check without your consent he would have to send a bill of some sort because your check is for time that you worked. Hire a lawyer or threaten to maybe he will back down and give you your money.

Is that located in your employee handbook first or was that covered when you first started? An early leave of job fee what is that? I have never heard of such mess, check out the EEOC website, I'm sure you can get to the bottom of it, www.eeoc.gov. By law you have to get paid for all hours worked!!

Wow, sounds similar to my situation. I just got let go from a job because I had a black guy jump my car and they called the police, telling me that I had my car parked in the same spot for 3 days which is untrue because I live 25 miles away. But anyways they took a total of 7 hours off my paycheck and are refusing to reimburse me my money. They also sent me a previous check and it was returned.
I would get an attorney, if you have proof that you weren't paid for the hours you worked you should get your money back.
Good luck!

No that is not legal, at least not in the United States. Contact your local government officials. I'm sure they can point you in the right direction. If you did the work, you get the pay. It is not your responsibility to pay for someone else to fill your position.

Did you sign a contract? If you did, then it may very well be legal.
Otherwise, no, it is not legal and I would contact a lawyer. $5,000 is not something to just call a wash.

by law, your previous employer must pay you for the days you worked. other wise they are breaking the law. get a lawyer....
