Today's payday and nothing showed up in my checking account

[lizziegrace]

direct deposit worked just fine last month... And I got my pay stub in the mail today so I know how much should have shown up.

My rent is officially late now and after spending thousands to move here, I'm trying to get bills caught up. It's likely that Verizon will turn off my phone as I PROMISED I'd pay the past due amount today. Both cars need fuel and I wanted to get some groceries.

Chase has no record of an inbound ACH and of course my former employer says the money was drafted out of his account.

I have $9.48 in my checking account.

:mad:

1. That sucks!

:(

2. .

3. My first call tomorrow morning would be to the WI Dept. of Labor.

Make your former employer prove it to them.

That, or if you have an attorney, have him or her make a little phone call to your former employer.

I know I keep saying this, but all of this is leading somewhere good. :hug:

[lizziegrace]

4. Gawd I hope you're right.

I'm so tired...

[GOPisEvil]

5. I understand.

I thought you had finally turned the corner. I didn't realize there would be a brick wall there. :(

At some point, it's got to come together for you. You're too good a person to be kept down. :hug:

[Blue-Jay]

6. You probably got fired.

[lizziegrace]

8. I did...

"not a good fit" I was told on Monday.

[Blue-Jay]

9. Really?

I was just being a smartass. Being told that you're "not a good fit" is bad.

[lizziegrace]

10. Yeah, really

but we get paid monthly and I have an entire month's check that should have been direct deposited today.

[Shakespeare]

11. I'd call back and ask again--most companies give "live" checks to terminated employees.

It's possible that your check (and not direct deposit) is sitting on a desk in HR--somebody obviously fucked up. If they don't produce that money by first thing in the morning, then you should call your local labor commissioner immediately and ask for advice.

I'm so sorry to hear how this worked out. Hopefully one of the other companies that made an offer to you will still have a position open. :hug:

[lizziegrace]

12. I've been exchanging emails and my stub says direct deposit

Chase said that they post ACH transfers in batches and that it might show up in the morning. No guarantee.

The firm was rather small and the owner does payroll.

[masshole]

19. here in Mass employers have 24 hours to pay a terminated

employee ALL due wages, salary and tips. I know it won't help you right now but if your ex-employer violated your state's law he could be liable for any overdraft fees you've incurred.

Best of luck, I've been there too!

[lizziegrace]

22. Wisconsin gives an employer 6 days

just enough time for me to have my credit ruined with my landlord, my cell phone disconnected and overdraft charges from the bank. Not to mention, I can't buy food or gas.

The owner said the money for my DD was taken from his account on Wednesday. He's got to make it right. Today. :(

7. I Feel Your Pain

That happened to me once, talk about ulcer time.....
hope it works out for you

:hi: :hug:

[lizziegrace]

13. Thanks...

this is working my ulcer to death...

:(


:hug:

[InternalDialogue]

14. Your thread title made me immediately think of the grumbly, seething smiley.

I was going to post it for you, but you've already got one.

Just in case it speeds that check along, here are a few more anyway.

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[lizziegrace]

15. Thanks...

I need all the help I can get right now. :(

[lizziegrace]

16. UPDATE... Still no deposit

my car payment drafted and now I'm overdrawn. Can't buy gas, food or pay my now past-due rent. It's Friday and I am at the mercy of the boss who's not in the office today.

[PeaceNikki]

17. Oh no!!!

I am speechless and my heart is breaking for you.

I wish I were in a position to help you now. :(

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[lizziegrace]

18. It's okay

it's the employer's responsibility anyway. I don't CARE that the money left his account. It never made it to mine and he must do the research to find out where it went and correct it. I have no information to do this myself.

Damn...

[GreenPartyVoter]

38. :^( This sucks so bad *hugs* Want me to track your boss down and

yell at him a lot? I could use my "Mom's gone crazy" face and voice that I have to lay on my kids when they won't do something the first twelve times they've been told. :hug:

[davsand]

20. Is the Direct Deposit being "held" by your bank?

Is there any way the funds are in some kind of "holding pattern" at your bank? Have you checked on that?

21. I talked to the group responsible for ACH transactions

there's nothing out there pending for me. My direct deposit worked fine last month and nothing has changed on my end.

[Dangerously Amused]

23. Sic that bitch of a lawyer you got on their sorry asses.

No, wait. Even better... get SKITTLES on the case!

:scared:

[lizziegrace]

24. Hehe...

I did sic that bitch of a lawyer on them. She put the fear of gawd in them...

;)



:hug:

[Critters2]

25. Still, Skittles would be a nice touch, too. nt

[lizziegrace]

26. I'd pay money to see Skitles kick some

ass...

:)

[Critters2]

27. I'd drive up to Milwaukee for that,

then I'd catch a Brewer's game, rent a boat at Port Washington for a few hours, stop by to say "hi" to my dad, then head home...fully satisfied.

[lizziegrace]

29. Hehe...

I've got a place you can stay. :-)

[KitchenWitch]

28. UGGGH

That is awful.

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

30. Yeah

the hits just keep coming...

:(

[KitchenWitch]

31. I know the feeling.

[suninvited]

32. My bank misplaced one of my direct deposits once

it was put into the wrong account.

I would INSIST my bank find it.

[lizziegrace]

33. They finally found it

and said it will post tomorrow. I told the customer service rep who called that all the fees associated with the overdraft will disappear too.

I can't buy food or gas (or anything) tonight. Hopefully I can tomorrow.

[1gobluedem]

34. Where did they find it?

PM me if I can help. I can wire you some $$ if necessary.

[lizziegrace]

36. No definite answer on that

but Chase did have it the entire time...

I'll log in tomorrow morning and check on it.

Thank you. :hug:

[LostinVA]

35. It'll probably go in right after midnight

I knwon that doesn't help right now.

Where did it "go"?

[Dangerously Amused]

37. Yeah, 'cause after I got off the phone with you I went down there

...and KICKED THEIR ASS!!

[GreenPartyVoter]

39. Phew! That is some good news, though your gonna be hungry for a bit. :^(
