I work for an attorney and have been laid off after 9 years, last day 07/30/15. Do I have rights if I am not paid by the last day?

Dear Anonymous,   I am sorry to hear about your layoff.  There is nothing illegal about your employer mailing you your last check, as long as you are paid fully for the time that you worked.  Your employer is not allowed to deduct certain items from your last check, and if you find that you have any illegal deductions then you may have a claim agains your employer for unpaid wages.  Wage claims in Indiana allow for the collection of treble damages up to a specified amount, and attorneys fees.  Here is more helpful information about wage claims.
