I have been through this as an employer and an employee. First, what the employer can and cannot do is dictated by that state's labor laws. Here in CA you can hold a final (or any) check in lieu of tools, equipment, co. owned assets, etc. owed by said employee AS LONG AS A CHECK IS ISSUED FOR ALL HOURS WORKED AT THE MINIMUM WAGE. The residual, if any, can be held in order to get your assets returned. One thing you cannot do is place a stop payment on a paycheck once it has been given to the employee.
