withholding paychecks

Is it legal to withhold my paycheck (I am a 1099 employee in NY) until they receive forms not related to billing for that cycle? What are my options if it's not?

Re: withholding paychecks

You can sue them and depending what type of work you do you may have a lien on the work as well.

Speak to a labor lawyer as soon as you can. They may even be guilty of a crime.

Good luck.
