If a check is for services rendered and noted on the check something to the effect of "Payment for services rendered" or "payment in full" then it becomes binding. If the check is however a paycheck that is cast in the same manner each payperiod and is does not have the above remarks, then it is not binding to the amount of the check.
Best course of action. If your worked hours and paid hours are in conflict, make a complaint to your local labor board. Also, when a company pays you less than your agreed to rate of pay for hours worked, they MUST issue explanation of withholdings. If they do not do this then they are in breach and may be fined by local or federal government. If you need help finding more on the issue, feel free to email me.

Cash it only if you don't want to receive any more payment from your former employer. By cashing the check, you acknowledge that your former employers does not owe you a dime. I would copy it (for your own records) and send it back to your former employer with what you think you are owed by certified mail.

Yes, cashing what you have received is in no way taking anything away from your allegations against your employer.

Yes. Keep a copy of it - front and back. Keep your pay stub as well. Take your employer to small claims court if they won't reimburse you for the difference.

No, do not cash it, send it back to the company in certified mail and contact the company. You may have to take it to small claims but be sure you have proof of your claim. If you don't have any proof and they are unwilling to reimburse you then you will need to just cash the check and eat your losses.

No, if you are disputing a paycheck you can't cash it - by doing so you are accepting what is being paid
