Default CA - Withhold final paycheck until laptop returned
In California, is it legal to withhold an employee's final paycheck until the employee returns the company issued assets (laptop, pager, cell phone)?

Default Withholding of Pay
No, it is not legal. However, the employer can pursue the employee through other legal means for the missing property. You can read about filing a wage claim at: http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/howtofilewageclaim.html
