U.S. Department of Labor Interpretation
One potential complicating factor is the U.S. Department of Labor's position regarding direct deposit found in Section 30c00 of its Field Operations Handbook:
Section 30c Payment of Wages
30c00 Method of Payment
The payment of wages through direct deposit into an employee's bank account is an acceptable method of payment, provided employees have the option of receiving payment by cash or check directly from the employer. As an alternative, the employer may make arrangements for employees to cash a check drawn against the employer's payroll deposit account, if it is at a place convenient to their employment and without charge to them. (Field Operations Handbook, 12/9/88)
Colorado Department of Labor & Employment
Methods of Payment
Colorado employers may pay their employees with checks (or other instruments payable upon demand), cash, paycards, or by direct deposit into the employee's account at a financial institution.
Direct deposits can only be made if the employee has voluntarily authorized the deposit and has chosen the financial institution into which the deposit is made.

If your employer has not paid you, you can file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau about the unpaid wages.

If the wages were not paid to you, then you didn't pay any taxes on them. You already got your deduction, you can't have a second one. If you are saying that your employer put wages on your W-2 that he didn't pay you, then ask your employer for a corrected W-2.
Wages can be paid as often as the employer wishes, but they are almost always paid over regular intervals. Wages are commonly paid weekly, biweekly, monthly or semimonthly.
Yes. All paid time off is an unregulated gift from the employer, he can require you to use according to his rules.
No, an employer cannot refuse to pay wages that are due to an employee. Florida law requires employers to pay employees for all hours worked, regardless of whether the employee still works for them or not. If an employer fails to pay wages owed, the employee can file a complaint with the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity or pursue a legal claim for unpaid wages.
Could you rephrase your question/make it clearer? Thanks
The employee is essentially stealing wages from the employer because the employee is getting paid for not doing work for the employer.
Yes, all employer paid benefits and wages are taxable. There is a way around that if you are an executive. 4lifeguild
If you get a paid day for jury duty you have to give your employer the money you receive from the court for your jury service. If you aren't paid by your employer for that day you loose a day of work and pay, but keep the jury pay.
The payment of the employee's final wages is different from severance pay. Final wages are mandated by law to be paid -- an employee who is discharged must be paid all of his or her wages, including accrued vacation, immediately at the time of termination. On the other hand, severance pay is a special form of compensation from the employer. There is no law requiring an employer to offer or provide such. So in case of termination, the employee may receive both his final wages as well as a severance pay package (if provided by the employer).
Depends on what the payback is for...if it for an overpayment of wages that were taxed when mistakenly given to you, you would not pay tax on that.
