I think my ex-employer is withholding my paycheck because I quit.

I didn’t give a two weeks notice. I didn’t even technically quit. A lot of events happened in the short time I worked there that made it hard to deal with, and one day I was sick and didn’t go in and when I called no one answered and that was just kind of the end of it. I found a better job already with the actual hours I said I can work available to me, and one that is actually full time, but I still need the paycheck for the hours worked there. Today is the day the direct deposit was supposed to reach me, and I feel as if they’re gonna withhold it from me because I no called no show. I could have quit on better terms, but I have a bad habit of keeping toxic jobs at arms length and going back or helping them out…

I could have quit on better terms, but I have a bad habit of keeping toxic jobs at arms length and going back or helping them out still so I have an option if anything bad happens, and this job just made me so miserable with rude coworkers and terrible middle management and next to nothing in pay that I just took the first out I saw. Now I’m worried that they’ll try to use that against me, even though I know it isn’t legal to withhold a paycheck (I live in the U.S. btw. Georgia, specifically.)
