Your check is late; how long will it take for the company to produce before you say "fk 'em."?

Sooo... tomorrow I hope to see my check and be gone to work tomorrow. And if my check ain't here... we gonna have an issue.

It's understandable to feel frustrated and concerned if your paycheck is late, as it can cause financial strain and uncertainty. However, quitting a job should not be your first response to a late paycheck.

Before taking any drastic action, it's important to try to find out why your check is late and communicate with your employer to resolve the issue. You can reach out to your supervisor or HR department to inquire about the status of your paycheck and ask when you can expect to receive it.

If there is a legitimate reason for the delay, such as a processing error or a delay in payment from a client or customer, it may be worth waiting a bit longer to see if the issue can be resolved. However, if your employer is unresponsive or unwilling to provide a satisfactory explanation for the delay, you may need to consider taking further action, such as filing a complaint with the appropriate labor authorities or seeking legal advice.

Ultimately, the decision to quit a job should be based on a variety of factors, including your overall job satisfaction, career goals, and financial needs. It's important to weigh the pros and cons and make a decision that is in your best interest in the long term.

I wouldn't quit. I would inform whoever is handling the payment and ask what went wrong.

Also it never happend to me.

:)... lucky you. Me? Once for an event staffing, one for a data entry and right now. Any other time? On time or I didn't work and forgot.

So my luck is bad with jobs it seems. I bust my ass off and then this wants to happen.

My experience has been sometimes a company will pay their bills at the end of the month.
However, they do their employee payroll on a set date. They could be waiting for that date to give you your check.
It is never a good idea to quit a good job. If you find a good again, then you can switch jobs.
Have you asked them why you don't have your check yet?

[Sour-rose]

Yup. Someone gave up on me. :) therefore, terminated. However, i came that day after i got my badge and they really didn't expect me to come back. So now... gotta wait for my money. No money, no gas. No gas... no ride, etc

I recommend you start searching for a new job right away. It sounds like the company you work for is headed for bankruptcy if they are having problems paying their staff.

Just ask HR what's up.

[Sour-rose]

Welp, done asked the lady who works with HR... no response yet. No check, so this is bad. :)
