    27 checks? Wow. We only get 26 but on the last check of a 3-check month (happens twice a year), we don't have the insurance withheld. Last Wednesday's paycheck was the third check of the second 3-check month, so I'll have about 50 extra bucks.

    This.

    If your company complains, tell them it's collateral until you get paid.

    The parent company of the paper I work for emerged from bankruptcy last year. No paychecks were late.

    Something in your case is not right. Please let us know what happens Monday.

    if it's the company i think you're talking about, they also bounced a mileage check last week with someone I knew... probably just a screw-up like you or I typically make with overdrawing an account but definitely not what folks like to see right after a Chapter 11 filing is announced... the company had the money in this person's hands the next day so at least they made up for their gaffe.. and the paychecks weren't late...
     
  5. It could be as simple as an end-of-year accounting deal. Our "year" ended on Dec. 27, so the last four days of December are paid in 2010. It's just because that's when the end of the two-week pay cycle fell, nothing sinister.

    But soon as you get it, cash that check.

    If they are bridging payroll to Monday ---CASH THAT CHECK QUICK.

    They didn't pay on Thursday because they didn't have it. It's that simple. Companies don't hold onto payroll late.

    I would run for the hills. They are trying to find some funding. I would also take some computers home. I would grab any asset I could as collateral.

    So what happened today, Fishhack? Did you get your check today?

    Hey guys...

    Just an update ... we did get our checks on Monday. They were dated Friday ... still not sure what the rationale was...going to stop by the publisher's office today and ask what the deal was.
