    Font - S1 r/antiwork u/Specialist-Truth2648 20h. i.redd.it . Have yet to receive my first check for a job I've been working for around a month now.. Was told by the treasurer that I didn't put my full address into payroll (my apartment number) and he sends me this. This doesn't seem legal but can anyone tell me what it is I can do about this, if anything?

    Gesture - 2:30 Cance Hello This address is unfortunately something you had to do and correct. Since it was not done correctly, I am now in possession of your paper check. I will unfortunately not be back at the before December. When I am back at th next time I will let you, and then you need to come in person to the to pick up your check. Have a great day!

    Font - randomuser_8461 - 19h 1 Award We have this new fangled thing called the post office in the US. It's this magical place where you go and pay them money, and they physically send things for you from one place to another. Blew my mind when I learned about it. I thought our only option was faxing! Amazing! What'll they come up with next in 2022? 41.5k +

    Font - cilvher-coyote. 17h Or there's also darn fangled direct deposit, or easy e transfers between accounts that take less time than writing or printing a damn cheque. All mine are direct deposit and my pay stubs are emailed to me. BOOM! And not getting paid for 2 months seems sketchy and illegal as all heck. Where I live you get your pay within 3 wks max or else you can take them to business tribunal/court and the rulings are usually really fair. + 312

    Product - DeerDiarrhea. 19h There is some afoot. Even if the apartment number were missing, and for some reason he couldn't get it from OP, it could easily be mailed to a manager at the restaurant and then given to OP. + G 470

    Font - SadCandidate6 . 15h Yea employers can offer those "pay cards" if they don't offer direct deposit.. but OP should be able to have that check mailed, I don't get why the moron would say something like they are going to hang onto the check until December..seems super shady. ... + 464 +

    Font - MissSara13. 15h Yep. And the check should be overnighted to OP. I've been doing Payroll for over 20 years and I will go out of my way to make sure my people get paid regardless of whose fault it is. There are so many ways to get money to people these days. OP's treasurer is lazy and incredibly unprofessional and most likely non- compliant with wage and hour laws in their area. + G 4380

    Font - Blarghnog OP, this person legit runs payroll, as I have for years as well. 11h ● The overnight check is the default. There is no excuse not to get payment to employees quickly. Contact your labor board in whatever state your in if your in the US and ask them for advice. .. + 192

    Font - moffitar. 6h You could also contact the president, or whoever the treasurer's boss is. Also, get your manager involved to go to bat for you. It's very likely the treasurer will be reprimanded and your paycheck given to you in person with an apology. If this isn't that kind of company, then that tells you what you need to know.

    Font - I worked for a failing company at one point and we saw red flags everywhere, but the one thing the owner was adamant about was that payroll came first. Sometimes our paychecks would bounce. He'd ask us kindly to wait a few days to deposit. But most of us just took our checks to the owners bank to get cashed, first come, first serve. We had our own bills to pay. It's too bad, it was a fun place to work. They just didn't manage finances very well. 49
