Have you ever had a paycheck bounce?

Wow, this is an old discussion, but I hope you've gotten it all resolved. I worked for a home builder once - in the accounts payables department - and I can remember having to hold contractor checks because the money was tight, but they always made sure they had money for payroll. They can actually get into a lot of trouble for bouncing payroll checks.

Either they have a very bad accountant or the guy is not turning the money over to the banks (banks, in this case). Or in this case his old friend from Greensburg has been getting too big a cut. You know how his old friend is after the dealings that our family has had with theirs. I hope to see him soon so I can rip him a new one and you know what the one is that I will rip him. I may be sent to jail in Kiowa conty for the things I say to him because I will say them in front of the whole town of Greensburg.

That is awful and I would be sure that they were covering the expenses that have incurred because of it. Why would a company paycheck bounce if they have an accountant. Talk with the bank and see if they will take away any of the charges a lot of time they will.

That is too bad. He works to support his family and then his paychecks bounce. I would see if I couldn't get the bounced checks back from the bank and take them to the bank that they were written on. What has American Builders had to say - if anything.

In some states any check over $200. is a felony. To bad I didn't think of that and you could have pressed fraud charges on him. Wouldn't have gotten your money that you needed badly but maybe would have taught them a lesson. Since a lot of other employees checks did the same thing. All together something might have happened to them.

Oh dear, sorry to hear that Jean. One thing to do is to keep good records and check your account (online) often. Hope you get through it. I've never had to deal with the situation you described. I'm rather meticulous with my dealings.
