What is the law regarding a final pay deductions?
I’m salary and my final pay was for 28 hours but they deducted $339 for insurance premiums. I was not told that this was being deducted until they had already done it. Is this legal for them to deduct that large of an amount out of my final pay?

They can deduct it IF you actually owe that: i.e. those are the as-yet unpaid premiums for coverage you have received or are still receiving. However, they cannot deduct anything in excess of amounts you owe for coverage you have been or are being provided, and if they do so, you could contact the state department of labor to file a complaint.
