Re: Holding paycheck
The date of the check is irrelevant. The date your paycheck is due is what is important. A three day delay, though, is not worth suing over.

Re: Holding paycheck
Probably not. The company may be in violation of a Florida or federal statute. In order to make that determination, however, I would need additional information, such as whether you signed an employment agreement or not.
