What is the name of your state? Georgia. My daughter had given her employer two weeks notice they she was going to work for someone else. This is a orthodontist's office and the employees are not required to clock in. They are paid the same amount regardless of whether the doctor takes the day off or not. The previous week, the doctor had taken three days off and all of the employees were told that they would be paid for all three days, but would be required to work one of the days to clean. She worked the required day. a week later and two days before her two weeks notice ran out, she did not like the working conditions that morning so, she went to work, picked up her pay check and left. That evening, she went to his bank and cashed her paycheck. A few hours later, she received a call from the office secretary that he was not going to pay her for the two days, even though all of the other employees would be paid for it, and that a stop payment had been issued on the check and the bank shoukd not have cashed it They demanded that she come to his office and reimburse them for the two days. ABout an hour later, his bank calls her personal cell phone number that they must have gotten from her employer (is that legal for them to give the bank her personal cell phone number?) and states that a stop payment had been issued a 2:40 PM - 30 minutes prior to the the bank cashing the check and that she needs to come to the bank and take care of this matter. Can an employer legally do this and what does she have to do with regards to the bank calling her about the check that they cashed. They have called several times a day for the past week with one time being after 9:00 PM.

Cell phone numbers are not protected information. There is no law prohibiting anyone from giving out someone's phone number.

Please correct me if I am misunderstanding. She walked out of the office (for whatever reason) two days before the end of her notice. She expects to be paid for those days anyway.

Have I got it right?

But they were days she didn't actually work, therefore, she doesn't have to be paid for them, even if other employees were. But it wasn't very nice of them to put a stop on her paycheck over it.
