Are there laws dealing with retaliation by an employer taken after the employee quit?

According to what I have read, it appears that retaliation laws deal with retaliation occurring at the workplace, not after. But there are times when employers retaliate even after an employee has quit. Are there any laws regarding this? Is this called "retaliation?"

For example, in the case an employee has quit. The ex-employee may not have done anything to make the employer believe there is a lawsuit coming. But if an employer has not paid an employee or has not followed other parts of the employee's contract, that employer may perceive the ex-employee as a threat for court action.

If the employer visits the ex-employee's home to discuss this, calls on the phone and yells at the ex-employee, threatens legal action against the ex-employee, threatens the ex-employee not to return to the state or be arrested due to some alleged crime the employer has invented -- these (and other actions taken against the ex-employee) would appear to be retaliation.

Is this retaliation? Legally speaking, I mean. Or is it something else?
 
a contract is a contract. if they or you break it, it can be held up in court legaly but you or them has to go to court over it. No as far as the retaliation and calling and phone calls. I never seen one incident of this so you are going to have to go in detail what they are calling about? Do you owe them money? Why are they after you? rare case
 
And the reason the ex-employee has not asked his attorney for this answer? Since the former employer has not lived up to the contract obligations and now is attempting intimidation to protect his interests, the ex-employee should level the playing field. Get an attorney to respond on your behalf. Get the money and stop being hassled.
