Legal Question in Employment Law in Ohio

My company withheld all 39 pay checks because they didn't have the money to pay us. My manager who was on site working and in charge said he was taking his paycheck anyhow and cashed it. Now my boss wants me to write him up (progressive disciplinary action) for insubordination. My last day is in a week anyhow. If I write him up I fear it will create a paper trail for legal action against the company (I don't wish them any harm) because the employee told me he would call the wages and hours division and report it. Any suggestions?

This is a complicated issue, and you yourself may be at odds with your company in regard to what you should or should not do. Therefore, I can't offer you specific advice online about your rights or what you should do because I can't offer advice to both you and your company--there would likely be a conflict here. You should immediately contact an attorney in your area with your concerns. You need to look out for yourself, and you need specific advice that is going to depend on some more facts, such as timing and classifications of employees, in your situation.
