I called their payroll dept. and they called me back saying the manager had my check. I want to claim unemployment but how can I when they ant me to sign a paper that might deny me my unemployment?

I am not familiar with Washington law on this subject, but if it's anything like New York, withholding your paycheck would be a serious violation of the New York Labor Law, and I would definitely advise my client not to sign the release, and to sue the employer if it continued to withhold the check.
