What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oklahoma
My husband started a new job on Dec. 9,2012 to which he left his old very well paying job for the new one. He started work on 12/9/12 and his first pay day was 1/1/2013 the boss hands him a temp personal check hand written and a printed out paystub. There had been no taxes taken out and when we took the check to my bank due to it being a temp check they call the boss's bank to see if the check would clear and of course it wouldn't. We contact his boss and inform him of the situation and he says he has not yet made a deposit it would be 6pm before we could cash my check. Later that evening our bank says the check will clear we go cash the check on the evening of the 1/2/13. On 1/10/13 our bank notifies us that our account is way over drawn and that my husbands payroll check had bounced, they had tried to get the check to clear for two days before they returned it. Now our account is over drawn and we receiving NSF charges and our bank froze our account due to the amount of money that our account was now over drawn for. My husband contacts his boss only to be ignored and when he finally did answer he told us he would wire the money to our account on 1/11/13 and if the wire transfer didn't work he would meet us in our home town with cash in hand to fix the situation. Well here it is 1/14/13 and we are still without pay and our account still massively over drawn and collecting more NSF fees. My husband contacted his boss yet again and told him the situation has still not been corrected what did he intend to do. He tells my husband he is at the bank and it will be taken care of, yet once more here we sit for the last 14 days with no pay and our checking account a wreck. To top things off my husband not only without the first check he owes him from 1/1/13 but my husband is due to be paid again on 1/15/13. My husband was not the only employee whose payroll check bounced yet he is the last to be paid. The guy that is my husbands boss has been sued in the past for this very same thing and worse. We are at a loss as to how to handle the situation other than to take him to small claims court. The sad thing in all of this is my little girls 5th birthday was sunday and my anniversary is today and we have no money to celebrate either of them. How terrible we as parents felt when we had to deny our little girl her birthday because of this irresponsible man. My husband and I are to the point of tears as we have nowhere to get this money to fix our account or anything else for that matter, and my husband doesn't know if he should leave his job and start looking for another or stay and see if his boss finally gets his act together. Please any help or advise you can give us would be greatly appreciated. We can provide as much information as necessary.
