The general answer would be no, they can't. They must pay you at least minimum wage for every hour you've worked for that pay period. If they've made some deduction, then they must justify it and usually have written authorization from you to legally make the deduction. Basic labor laws are set at the federal level; however, specific labor laws vary from state to state. If you have a grievance with your pay, there will be some state organization that will hear your complaint and act on it if they find your employer in the wrong. (In Texas for example, the appropriate organization is the Texas Workforce Commission.)
These types of grievances can cause harm to your relationship with your employer, so if you're still working for them, then it might be more beneficial to try to work it out with them first. You deserve to be paid for your work, however, and these laws were implemented to prevent employers from taking advantage. Good luck to you.

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.

Can you receive termination pay and severance 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).

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.
Does an employer pay the same percentage in Social Security tax that an employee pays?
Yes. You contribute half from your earned wages, and your employer matches that amount from company funds, for a total of 15.3% of your income (or less, if you earn more than $106,800 per year). Your employer is responsible for making the FICA contributions and for handling any other administrative work.
