Ok, I need to vent.
So DH was supposed to get a direct deposit from his old company for his last pay check with them on Monday morning. It didn't go in & when he called the lady responsible for it said she was sorry, but she forgot him, but that she would do the paperwork & he should have his payment by Thursday or Friday, at the latest. Frustrating, but she was correcting the mistake.
Then this morning she called him and said that they are missing a deposit from a few weeks before he left. It's was from a special event & he was there, but he wasn't the manager on duty & left before they made the deposit that night. So even though it wasn't from his department & he wasn't responsible for making the deposit & everyone else has been paid, she decided to withhold DH"s final pay until they "come to a resolution."
WHAT THE F*CK?!
Seriously? They have never had enough accountability for things, especially deposits & that isn't DH"s fault. I could understand better if DH had been fired or left as a disgruntled employee, but he didn't. He left on good terms & they even threw him a little farewell party.
DH called his old boss (the owner) as soon as he got off the phone with her. He hadn't heard anything about it (um, way to communicate, accountant lady) and told DH he would look into it.
I'm just so angry. It isn't a full pay check, but it's more than the missing deposit is worth, and it was freaking expensive to move. We need that money to help hold us over until he gets paid from his new job. 
Re: Ok, I need to vent.
Initial disclaimer -- this is not legal advice as I don't do employment law and don't know the validity of the website below -- but I am pretty sure they can't withhold an entire paycheck without consent. This made me do a google search and I found this:
http://library.findlaw.com/2001/Jan/1/127839.html which basically says they can't withhold his entire paycheck. If they think he did something wrong and want to recover the money they have to take him to court and let a judge/jury decide if he is guilty of anything. At least its something he can bring up to the accountant so she has to do some legal research of her own and justify her actions.
This site http://ezinearticles.com/?Payroll-North-Carolina,-Unique-Aspects-of-North-Carolina-Payroll-Law-and-Practice&id=228945 indicates that when you quit a job or are fired the company legally must give your final paycheck by the next regular payday.
If you want to do more research, here are the statutes that apply: http://www.nclabor.com/wh/Wage_Hour_Act_Packet.pdf
Hope it all gets straightened out!
