Re: labor law
You should check the back of the check for restrictive endorsement language
indicating that the payee's endorsement constitutes payment in full(or similar language). If the check does have such language and you endorse and cash it, you may have forfeited your claim to whatever balance you believe is still due you.
However, if there is no such restrictive language on the reverse side of the check, you should endorse it "with all rights reserved or a reservation of rights" before depositing the check with your bank.
(It would also be advisable to photocopy both sides of the check after endorsing it.)
