Ask HN: Employer holding last salary until work laptop is returned. Can they?

My last salary is on hold until I return the work laptop, yet the machine is of lower amount than the money due. I need the payment to pay for rent now and returning the machine internationally will take a while. The employer says "it's company policy" but I did not agree to any such clause. Employer based in Ireland, know about my need. Anything I can do? No code on the machine that hasn't been pushed to the repo. Can they do it? Is it common practice?
