Well, "Trev", that was probably a question you should have asked THEM before accepting the job offer, wasn't it?

It will depend on the labor laws where YOU LIVE, which you did not tell us....

Oh wait, I see you, you live HERE, right? http://www.whatismyipaddress.com

I have never heard of holding a paycheck. Where I work, we work two weeks in a work period, it ends on a Saturday, and the check is issued the following Friday.
