Bounced paychecks
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.

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...)

August 24th. Can't wait for those bigger paychecks I'll get when I have fewer interuptions!
