Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Florida

legal ethics

can a company you worked for hold your last check until you send in uniform shirts? My son left a job in Florida to move back home to Ohio. He was not advised he needed to turn in his shirts when he left. THe shirts have since been discarded. THe company (Pizza Hut) refuses to send his last check until he returns the shirts. This has been going on since April. Is it legal to withhold this check? If so can they just deduct what the shirts are worth from the check?

Tell them to deduct the cost of the shirt and send you the balance.
