Employer threatening to withhold final paycheck
Hi,
I have an issue with my past employer. I was terminated from employment on December 21st.
My past employer just sent me an email (Dec. 26th) stating if I did not submit to them some paperwork by the end of the month, they would withhold my final paycheck.
I would like to know if that is legal for them to do so. I've returned my company cellphone and laptop. I don't see where they have grounds to force me to do paperwork after I have been fired.
Thanks for your advice,
Tim
