bounced paychecks
Would you please inform me what punishments there are on the state or federal level for an employer bouncing paychecks. I recieved about 7 myself, but there was about 19 in all. Also how long can an employer hold your last paycheck after being fired? My employer gave my last paycheck to a woman who worked for his wife(my landlord)and said that she was going to hold it until I paid my rent. Now no one will return my calls and I still have not recieved my last check. This has been going on for almost 3 weeks now. Any information you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
