Bounced paychecks

In Reply to: If your MTSO bounces checks or pays late - post the name of the company here
When it happened to me many years ago, the first time my check bounced I figured it was a fluke. The second time, I went directly to the California Labor Board. I not only got my money, they also found LOTS of little illegalities going on at that person's company, and they put her out of business. I sure didn't lose any sleep over it. Plus I had already quit, anyway.

Ha! ... They should get a look at one of MY paychecks!
Not even enough to keep the lights on!
Late paychecks
I hope you do not work for D&L Typing - they have a history of paying late and then not at all. Beware, they also work under a new name no one is supposed to know about.
In any event - Send them an invoice with late fees and penalties - you are a independent contractor - if you do not pay your bills you get charged, charge them.
How common is it in MT to have late paychecks? (sm)
I work for what is probably a small MTSO. (I don't know how many clients she has, just that she's a one-woman operation as far as office staff, and she runs the place out of her home.) I have worked for four MTSOs. The first one right out of school consistently paid late. The next two never paid late. This one, and I have been with her for over two years, didn't used to pay late but now is consistently late with making payroll.
I am not doing this job as a way of just making 'mad money'. I had to borrow money from my parents today in order to make the mortgage, as the paycheck due on the 31st of August is not going to be paid until late next week. I am very frustrated, but we are told that this is the 'nature of the business'. I'm not an ignorant woman... I know that small businesses can (and should) have a line of credit with a bank/credit card for emergencies like equipment breakdowns and to make payroll. I suppose she can't qualify, poor credit, whatever... But I am getting frustrated because her inability to make payroll on time is affecting my ability to pay my bills on time, not only my mortgage but my utilities, credit card, etc.
How prevalent is this problem? I love my accounts, I make a better than average line rate (I am an independent contractor), and my MTSO is really a lovely lady... so I hate to go to another MTSO, but I am considering going back to my old career (teaching) now that my kids are in school, just for the benefits and consistent payment. It's nothing personal, I just need to get paid for my work! Does anyone else experience this problem?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks so much! (Sorry for any typos, I am working and am kind of typing this in a rush...)
Except they bounced 3 of hers. Never paid her right, either.
And, she cleared a pool for them for a bonus - never got it.
That little Fernando is a horrible little man, too. (i think its Antonio actually - whatever!)

I am in a different state than my client. Her check bounced and even then she has the guts to make one or the other excuse. Please advise about all possible options and the one that would work fastest.

What steps would you take if you had three bounced pay checks?
Bounced check - this happened to me too.
I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago. The person who wrote me the check being in another state. Fortunately, I informed the person and I was sent another check (I was praying for a money order) fearing a second check would just bounce around again. The person didn't pay for the fees involved, which I think was rude/wrong because I got nailed fees at my bank when the check bounced, plus I had to borrow money from a family member to cover the checks I had written against it! However, I was just happy to get the majority of the money owed to me. Needless to say I quit that job and moved on. Good luck to you.
I just had Hot Wheels bounced off my head and computer monitor.
My kids are older and shouldn't need to be entertained. We do things with them in the afternoons, evenings and weekends, just like any other two parent working family. The kids know better than to throw things in the house. However, it's too hot to go outside so they're bored. They also know I work until noon. So why am I being struck by flying objects?  I think it's chore time.
August 24th. Can't wait for those bigger paychecks I'll get when I have fewer interuptions!
