Man I'll cash my pay checks
For the restaurant that I work at , I like getting the cash
Lately It always comes back as returned cheque
So I keep getting screwed but hopefully they'll give it to me
They are shut down for 2 weeks right now
About $ 800
Plus more that I need to pick up so about $ 1000
Has this happened to you ?

I'd confront the restaurant about the frequent bad checks, and maybe ask for direct deposit instead.

Yeah man maybe I'll find a new one to work at
They dont do that
They also dont take tax out of our cheques so I'm going to owe a bunch of tax
The guy who did my tax messed up my birthday every year
so I got screwed out of getting any of it back too
I went into his bulding to talk to him
Glanced into a room near his
it was books and garbage everywhere with a desk flipped over , for real
No complaints just makes me laugh
I'm not sure how I will fix that but I'll ask someone

I'd be hard pressed to work for a company that wrote bad checks and didn't pay me.

Like the restaurant is just closed? Has that happened before? Maybe they are just saying that and they may not open again at all.

Sounds like they beat you out of some money bro. Sorry to hear. Kitchens are notorious about that

it happened once before they gave me my money back plus 5 $
Now it happened with 2 cheques at the same time
Also have a third one ready and a fourth coming
they shut down before they could get that one to us but hopefully it's just for vacation
It's a family place but they should have lots of money
Not my business why they obviously dont
Only reason why I work pretty much all of the time
It's because I'm trying to achieve goals
Unfortunately it requires dealing with minor things like this
No big deal , no stress or frustration
I think it's good life lessons
It builds strength and character
In ontario they changed a law where if you work over 50 hours a company doesnt have to pay you overtime
So no matter how many hours I go it's always minimum wage with more tax added onto that every hour
Honestly love what I do , so it's cool
Am looking for something where my potential can serve me though
One day I'll find it
A good amount of the people I work with are here on visas
They inspired me to go work in United kingdom , New Zealand , Australia
It's something I'll honestly do soon enough have until I'm 35 , can do 2 years in the UK but I just want to see it
have people to go with who've been all around london
So it's interesting to me
Find out what you like what you dont like
I'm sure most of everything will be cool , if you like working

Not sure I've only been there about 10 months
A lot of the Mexican places shut down too
for a few weeks for the holiday
Never ate where I work
I know the owner though
Play bocce ball with his family
a bunch of old men
It's funny
They take it serious and they scream at all of those little balls
So I'm sure it will re open
That is smart thinking though
They told me to cash them right away and I do
The first time I walked in there
Asked them for a job
They hired me on the spot and wanted me to start working right away
Ended up coming back the next day to start
Everybody knows it's kind of a shitty place to work
I like it though , it's fun

It's not a good sign. This is a busy season and a well run shop does'nt shut just down in winter for that long, especially with how hard it is to make it in the biz right now. If they are on vacation and do'nt have money in the bank, how are they going to pay for inventory on the reopening unless they're hiding money? It is your business why they do'nt have the money when they should, and i mean that in the literal sense as that's how you make YOUR money. So is it gambling, drugs, or just poorly run?

Its poorly run with about 3 bosses
It has a big dinning room , gets filled up often
With lots of take out and deliverys
I'm just going to give them the paper
Going to say it didnt go through , ask them for it nicely
Not going to tell anyone
You cant confront or even really talk to Italians
They only hear what they want to hear
Most of the time they dont hear something good
I remember going over there a few months ago
Asked them if I could help anyone or the community
They got mad like oh you think we need help

Never received a bounce check in previous jobs. BUT, I had one boss who would "Forget it was payday". From my personal experience it could just be terrible management, never assume Mal intent on the first incident, but if it's happening more than once, ask for direct deposit, or start looking for a more financially secured work place. But from the sounds of it try get your government involved and report this, and have some co-workers who could testify against your boss and report it as well. You shouldn't suffer because of a crummy head hancho.

I worked for an indoor tennis club that went under. Showed up for 3 weeks before one day the doors were locked. Was 4 weeks behind in pay. Took about another 8 weeks to get paid but we got paid first (wages) before the other creditors.
Not sure about your situation with the lack of tax withholding you might not qualify as a regular employee, putting you in line with other creditors

If I had an employer that was bouncing checks more than once, I'd be looking for a new job. I come to work when I'm expected to, I expect to be paid when I'm supposed to.
Can bet if I called in and said I just don't feel like coming in today, it'd be a problem. They're counting on my reliability, and I'm counting on theirs.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Thanks
I work at a weed factory too
7 days a week in a greenhous
Deliver food on the side
Lately I'll honesly do 175 hours of work
more or less in two weeks
all for minimum wage
Probably going to quit this restaurant after I get my money
we will see I'll know for sure in 10 days
Those old men will get it for me if I need them to
Wither it's closed down for good or not
I have 2 more cheques to collect after the OP so it's a lot of money
Would never report anyone or anything like that , I'm sure the bank knows and it's not just mine
