In Colorado, if you quit, you have to wait till the next scheduled payday for your final pay. Only if you are fired does the employer have to give it to you immediately.

Or is that even the question? It's hard to tell - your post is almost unintelligible.

Well, since he IS doing it, he evidently CAN. Whether it's legal or not is another story.

But on the flip side, how do you expect him to pay you money he hasn't received yet?

While technically it's not legal, I think the DOL is going to be more concerned with employers who are trying to get out of paying altogether, rather than employers who by all accounts have every intention of paying as soon as they themselves get paid.
