Two weeks ago this past Friday, I was given my annual review along with a raise which was reflected on that payday. A week later, I put in my 2 weeks notice. I just received my most recent paycheck this past Friday....my employer paid me by my previous payrate. I have not confronted my employer on this yet, and want to know what my rights are before I do. I do not have any written proof of my hourly wages other than the paycheck stubs. If my employer is unwilling to compensate me for the difference in pay, I plan to terminate my employment immediately (one week short of my original last day)....can I get in legal trouble as far as abandonment reasons?

Thank you for anyone that can help me....

Unless you have an employment agreement, you are at-will. That means that they can terminate you for any reason or no reason and you can quit for any reason or no reason. When you apply for another job and they ask why you left, you can now say "paycheck irregularities."
