No. Your employer has till your next scheduled pay check to pay you. If you are in California he has only 72 hours if you quit and 24 hours if you were fired.

check your local and state laws.

You can sue for the amount of the last check plus any hardship due to the late payment. (Small claims only)

An employer cannot retain your paycheck for any reason if you have earned it. Some employers have a delayed pay period based on payroll and when you began the job.

No an employee must be paid for all hours worked. File a claim with your state's department of labor for non payment of wages.
