Your employer is obligated to pay you for all the time you worked. Florida's wage statute will govern how long it can wait. Usually it's about 2 weeks.
As far as your 401 K plan goes, get a copy of the 401 K Plan by writing to your employer and demanding it pursuant to ERISA. The employer is obligated to provide it within a reasonable period. Read the plan to see what you must do for withdrawals. Follow the plan's requirements to the letter. If the employer still refuses to release the funds or pay the back wages, then find an employment lawyer in Florida and sue hi,
