(mi) Fired From My Job After Putting In My 2 Weeks And Boss Is Demanding My Property In Exchange For Paycheck

Location: Michigan, USA

Hi everyone,

Up until two weeks ago, I was working for a franchise for 2.5 years as a manager. Due to scheduling conflicts with my schooling, I decided to find a different job. I put in my two weeks' notice on June 5th, and everything seemed fine. I posted one shift for grabs because I needed that day for a mandatory drug screening for my new position. This was the only time I had ever done that while I worked there.

Then, on the 11th, I went into work and found the owner there. He immediately started berating me and fired me. I remained civil and just said okay, but he continued to get more aggressive and insult me. He then stated that he would not give me my final paycheck until I returned my manager shirts. The problem is that I paid for those shirts 100% and have the receipts. In my eyes, he has no claim to them, and withholding my earned money for my property seems unfair.

I’m unsure of what to do in this situation or if there’s anything I can do. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: The shirts were polos and were overpriced because they were sold by the franchise. Which is why I don't want to give them to him; they have my name on them. Additionally, there was no valid reason for my termination, yet they are telling everyone that I kept putting my shifts up for grabs and that I was a poor worker. I meant to mention this earlier, but there has been so much drama that I forgot.
