Re: employer with holding my check

Based on these facts and the law, your employer's conduct is completely improper and illegal. In fact, if you have continued working for your employer and they are now withholding money for time which you have already worked, you may be entitled to recover up to 2 times your regular pay under both Federal and Florida law. Feel free to contact me for a free consultation. I handle cases like yours on a contingency basis (I only get paid a fee if we win your case).
