Can a company legally hold a person's last pay check?

8. Having to pay back costs of physical, etc,

Is nothing at all like holding a person's last paycheck. Not that the requirement to pay back hiring costs is very ethical, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's legal.

I'm reminded of how people used to think companies were holding back their paycheck when they simply didn't understand that it took a week or so to process payroll to get the check to them. Different thing, I know.

I have noticed that going to work for a company with a high turnover is rarely a good thing to do. It definitely means there's something very wrong with that company and that they probably aren't going to be good to work for.

How long has she worked there? How likely is she to make it to six months?
