Hi Jason,

Did you lose your job? In many states your final paycheck (or the final deposit via direct deposit) should come to you at the same time it would have if you hadn't been fired or quit. Most state governemnts do not allow employers to "square up" at a later date.

If your employer is holding back pay without your permission, call your state's labor bureau, they're there to help you.
