Broadway, Have you thought about just going to the company office in person to demand payment ? I realize it's some travel. Give it some thought.
The one practical suggestion was to call the PA labor board.
I am leaving that as last resort.
As for showing up in person, do you suggest I bring a gun?
What is going to make them pay me?
.
Which action did you suggest that I did not follow?
.
No gun.... but if they say they have a check then say 'Good, I will be by in an hour (or whatever time it takes) to come pick it up'....
Do not let them mail it... that means more excuses etc. etc..
The CEO has insisted that the local finance guy use an outside accounting company -- location unknown. This was the case even when I was there.
When I was there and they needed my work, the local finance guy processed the check himself.
Since they "fired" me, the CEO directed the finance guy to use the outside accounting company. Hence I cannot just show up.
So, I ask once again, short of using a gun, I can't think of a way to force them to write me a check and give it to me.
.
I like the lawyer letter idea. That, or email or phone them daily... squeaky wheel gets the grease.
The last company I worked for did this with every vendor, including the 1099 contractors. They had terrible cash flow problems, but eventually everyone did get paid. I continue to believe you will too, even if not in the time frame you are hoping for. It is very frustrating though, and I received many complaints from vendors saying they never wanted to do business with us again after what they went through.
You are indeed correct.
In addition, the envelope had no postmark. No clue when it was actually mailed. It didn't even have one of those postal machine postmarks./QUOTE]
So now we can add mail fraud to the list of charges?

I sent the finance guy photos of the check and the envelope.
I think he thought I was bonkers for saying that the check wasn't there last Friday.
He told me I would be getting it last Tuesday or Wednesday.
No, I am not nuts. Their system stinks.
No ... we can add no postmark means no idea of when check was mailed.So now we can add mail fraud to the list of charges?
So with no postmark, what good does it do to send photos?
BTW, it does bug me that those sorts of postmarks are not dated, sometimes I do want a record of that date. I try to remember to write a "Rec'd On" date on the envelope, but forget, or sometimes the date isn't an issue until later, when something comes up.

Just curious... you say they told you Fri the 9th and check was Tue the 11th... but the 11th was a Sun.... Tues was the 13th... so you must have made a mistake...
Sounds to me like 'released' means that it was input into the system on Fri to pay... but later in the day... past the time to send out that day...
Then you have Sat and Sun with no processing... and Mon was the 12 but that was the official Veterans day holiday so Tues was the first day that it would be processed and mailed... my bank says it can take up to 5 days for a check to be received so it seems to track...
BTW, the funds would have been taken out of the account on the 9th...
Yes, their system stinks, and if what the Fin Director says is true, they haven’t made any effort to track their accounts and understand how they are being managed. Shame on them.I sent the finance guy photos of the check and the envelope.
