Your math doesn't work out. If you left two weeks before January 4th, then your last working day was December 21, and you couldn't possibly have worked any part of the "week ending 12/31."

Leaving that aside: It depends on where you are. States have different laws for when employees must be given a final paycheck, and in many of them it matters whether the employee quit or was fired (generally, if there is a difference, then employees who are fired have to be paid more quickly than employees who quit).

If Jan. 4th is the next regular payday after you quit, in many states that's perfectly legal. In others they have much less time.

I'm adding a link in the Related Links section that breaks it down by state, and in many cases cites a specific chapter and verse you can point your employer to if they're breaking the law.

Given the specific dates cited, if they were going to break it they've probably already done so, so you're limited now to revenge.

Can employer in FL modify resignation paperwork without your consent and refuse to pay out previously earned annual leave and ask you to repay an overpayment that was their error?

I'd think that if you wrote and signed the resignation paperwork there might be a legal problem for them, like forgery. Not sure about the annual leave thing but, whether it was their error or not, you will probably have to repay them the overpayment legally.

Why would a prospective employer be interested in your health?

A prospective employer may be interested in your health because many employers pay a portion of their employees' health insurance. Health insurance premiums may be higher if you are in poor health or a regular smoker. However, a potential employer is not legally allowed to ask questions about health during an interview.


Can they hold your check if you dont write a letter of resignation?

In the United States, an employer cannot legally withhold a departing employee's paycheck; in some states, the employer must pay the employee all of the wages due him on his last day. There may be a narrow exception in some jurisdictions for cases in which the company loaned or advanced money to the employee, and there is no way to recoup the loan except by a deduction from the final paycheck. But an employer cannot withhold a paycheck from an employee simply because he did not write a letter of resignation. If this happens, an employee should file a complaint with his state's Department of Labor. The employer may subject to fines. For specific information about your state, visit the Labor Law Talk forums and look for your state's discussion board.
