Does an employer have to mail you your paycheck if you quit with no notice?

I was misled about the health benefits and job duties required of me so I left a letter of resignation requesting that my paycheck be mailed to me.

They have to pay you what they owe you. If you refuse or are unable to return to the job location to collect your last paycheck then it would be curteous of them to mail it to you. Usually they do it unless you left on bad terms, at which time they would make it difficult for no reason possibly stating that they need an original signature of recipt or something.
There is no law that I know of that they MUST mail it. If not make up a law firm and send them a threat letter. |

No, the employer doesn't have to mail it to you.
They can require that you pick it up in person. |

They have to make your paycheck available to you in the normal manner no later than the next regularly scheduled payday. They only need to mail it if that is the way you are normally paid or if you specifically ask. |

I am a manager in Ontario, Canada and it is the practice of our business to always mail out checks of employees that quit. We prefer it that way b/c we don't have to see them again (when they come to pick it up instead of mail). lol. |

Yes, you must be paid for your final hours and most companies will mail a check if the employee is not available to pick it up. They must pay you at the latest by the next regularly scheduled pay period. |

No, They can make it available to you, but they do not have to give it back if you do not return your Uniform. (at least thats how my previous job was) |

No, they can require that you pickup your check in person and in some cases sign for your final check. |

Yes. The employer has to pay you for the time worked, in most states. If you are asking whether they have to put it in the mail, the answer is no, they don't have to mail it. They can send it by UPS, FedEx, DHL, or any other carrier. They can require you to physically come by and pick up the check.
The company cannot deny you the wages you have earned because you quit with no notice. |

What if they said they would mail you your check but they are taking their time and you dont know if they really mailed it or not. Can you sue them if this happens amongst other problems that you have had with them? |
