Legal Question in Business Law in Michigan

Employer holding pay checks

I recently resigned my position with a company to further my business career. I have been resigned now for two weeks and my boss has refused to send me my two final checks. Is there anything legal about that, can he just keep the money? I am not the only employee he has done this to either, there are 2 others I know of for sure. If you could please let me know what I can do legally to collect my money that would be great. Also does this sound like something which I may need to hire a lawyer for? Thanks!!

Re: Employer holding pay checks

You can file a complaint with the State of Michigan Wage and Hour Division. Withholding your pay is illegal. It may help to have an attorney involved. For more info., please contact my office at (248)851-3171.
