In most jurisdictions, it is illegal for an employer to withhold a final paycheck from an employee. Employers are generally required to pay all wages earned, including the final paycheck, on the scheduled payday or within a specified time frame after employment ends. However, laws can vary by state or country, so it's important to check local labor regulations for specific guidelines on final paychecks. If an employer withholds a paycheck unlawfully, the employee may have grounds to file a complaint or seek legal recourse.
