You might want to start seeking new employment. Florida is very employer friendly. As far as employees, not so much.

If you seek unpaid (or late paid) wages in Florida, you can file suit in a Florida small claims court, or file a claim with the Federal Department of Labor because Florida has no state agency to handle wage laws and wage disputes. Florida does not require any employer to pay an employee wages conceded to be due when involved in a wage dispute with the employee. The employee would have to sue the employer for any wages in dispute, or file that claim with the Federal DOL. (That'll take forever to resolve.)

Unfortunately, Florida does not have any laws dictating when or how frequently an employer must pay employees their wages.

Florida also does not have any laws dictating when an employer must pay wages to employees who:

have been fired or discharged;
voluntary quit or resign;
left work due to a labor dispute or strike; or
are laid off


An employer in Florida may pay employees by:

cash, check redeemable at face value without deduction or fee, or direct deposit into an account at a financial institution of the employee's choosing, so long as the employee has consented in writing

See Florida Stat. Chapter 532 for further legal details.

Florida does not have any laws regarding what deductions may or may not be taken from an employee's paycheck. Florida doesn't require an employee to provide written consent prior to any deduction, either. The lack of a law prohibiting an employer from deducting monies means an employer can withhold or deduct wages from an employees pay check for:

cash shortages
breakage, damage, or loss of the employer's property
dishonored or returned checks
required uniforms
required tools
other items necessary for employment

If you disagree, its off to Florida Small Claims Court you must go. If you do, you'll also likely be seeking new employment.
