I NEED HELP WITH THIS ASAP!

I worked for a small business acct. firm for about a month and I quit (for various reasons) and I have yet to recieve my check that shouldve been given to me 2/12/2010. My former boss was avoiding contact with me so i went to the office and she told me that she NEVER printed my check because she didnt speak to me and i have to wait until next pay cycle (this friday) because she has to take out of my check "fees she incurred bringing me to her company" like my business cards and flyers. I would like to know if this is correct because it was temporary anyway and in nowhere did she say when the job was over that was going to happen.
And i've been working on getting my notary license and she found that out via facebook and she also said that if i get that she would sue me because that is competition. Im sure our non compete agreement was regarding me preparing taxes within 25 miles of the office. It did not say anything about NOTARY and i didnt even know she was a notary public!

Can someone give me an insight on what she can and cannot do because I refuse to let her try to get away with anything because she's mad I found a better job!

Any Advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
 
In what state is the business?
When did you quit?

The following is copied directly from the NYS Department of Labor website:

Q: When is the last check due to a terminated employee?

A: When employment has been terminated, the employer must pay the wages by the regular payday for the pay period worked. If requested, the employer must mail the final wages to the employee.


Q: What deductions can be made from an employee's wages?

A: Section 193 of the Labor Law states:


1. No employer shall make any deduction from the wages of an employee, except deductions which:

a. are made in accordance with the provisions of any law or any rule or regulation issued by any governmental agency; or b. are expressly authorized in writing by the employee and are for the benefit of the employee (such as payments for insurance premiums, pension or health and welfare benefits, contributions to charitable organizations, payments for United States bonds, payments for dues or assessments to a labor organization).

Employers may not deduct from wages the cost of breakage or spoilage of materials; nor may employers make wage deductions in any indirect manner, such as requiring a worker to pay for shortages by means of a separate transaction.

Report this employer to NY state labor agency.

Flariptide showed you why.
