stuffinb - I wouldn’t be surprised if they did. However, in that case, payroll is #3 on the list of payouts. So we’ll see. I fully expect them to go bankrupt.

Update for the evening…got home. Roomie is pissed. At me. Why, you ask? One, I hadn’t told her what her half of the bills were. Yay. Two, our cable is out. Yippee. Three, she told me never to email her at work again. I sent her an email asking what happened at a staff meeting, and mentioned that I was filing a complaint against the company. Her take? If they read that, she’s in trouble. I fail to see how, but fine. I’m NOT apologizing, however.

Update: she just got out of the shower and it a little bit calmer. Or at least isn’t mad at me. sigh

No advice at all - have never been there, am not versed in law, nothing at all. Just want to say that it will work out in the end, whether the law is involved or not, and:

Here’s a lose your integrity, but screw the system option…

What about cashing the check at one of those private places that takes 10%? I know that a lot of them prey on the poverty-stricken folks, so I wouldn’t feel terrible about walking in there knowing they may have to fight your company to cover it. I don’t know if they check with the banks to make sure they’ll clear.

While I’vve not faced the problem of my employer giving me a bad check, I SOOOOO know how it feels to be broke. I am living that right now (if it weren’t for the help of a very special friend who happens to be a Doper, I’d be eating carpet lint for dinner right now).

Keep complaining to whichever authorities you have to complain to. Fight that crap. Nobody deserves that, least of all you.

Here’s some banking advice, Falc:

  1. As stated before, go to the bank on which the check is drawn (where the company has it’s account). Try to cash the check. If the teller cannot cash the check proceed to step 2.

  2. Make a copy of the check for your records. Take the original check to your bank. DO NOT deposit the check. Ask the bank to send the check for collection (there may be a fee for this service, find out first). Get a collection receipt. Your bank will send the check to the company’s bank where it will be held for a period of time, usually 10 days. During that time period, should funds become available, your check gets paid first. If the check does not get paid you can start the process again. It’s exactly like you taking the check to the company’s bank first thing every morning, but without the hassle.

slakergirl asks:

Because if it bounces the check cashing company will be all over Falcon to make it good. Many of these places employ very unfriendly and persistent collection methods. Not a good idea. If you can’t cash the check at the bank where it’s drawn, don’t cash it anywhere.
