I recieved a check from my previous employer two weeks after I had left for another company. I had a 10 month contract with them, for 20 pay periods which I had spread to a 24 month pay period schedule.
Therefore they withheld a amount of my money every pay check to put into a pool that I could draw my checks from during June and July (when I would not work, but still recieve my checks.) I left after 8 months, which means they had taken money from 16 paychecks. They are now stating I OWE them the amount of the check they sent me by April 15th.
I am not sure how this works, but since they owed me money and sent me a check I was clear to cash it, correct?
Even if they did not owe me money, sending a check to someone is similar to sending them cash, and therefore my cashing it was legit, or am I wrong?
I also do webdesign for them, at no charge (which I will be ending now). Does that count in my favor at all?
