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.
