Does anyone else have a paycheck problem?????????
I have only been at this place for four months, I was paid on the 3rd of August . I put the paycheck into my account. I then started paying bills online , and then my account went into the negative, . so i called the bank and they told me the check from work was returned and it was no good.

one other person at work had the same problem and is now negative $300 bucks.


who is responsible for the overdraft fees, and how do i collect the money.

One other time we had to wait 2 weeks to get paid because the owners did not have enough money in the account.


it is a small company and has about 15 workers, they opened last halloween. We are still a month behind in getting paid.

It contained no cash and no credit cards ... just my library card, drivers licence, school ID, and Red Cross blood doner card.

What should I do? I am panicking.

I have been the assistant to my boss for over 5 ½ years now. Her and I are a team. We run HER desk. I am her only assistant and she is my only boss. Recently, business has been slow and the company had to lay off several employees. Luckily, I was able to keep my job but I not have to assist another woman (as her assistant was laid off). NO BIG DEAL TO ME. I am, however, experience a LOT of bitterness between my boss and this other woman. From the other woman losing her assistant to my boss having to share hers (me). This other lady has been making real snide remarks about my boss, etc. I really want to mention one of them to my boss. This other lady emailed me saying, “Seeing as your boss is on the internet, I’m assuming she’s not very busy so I have lots for you to do today and tomorrow. It really URKES me that she’s acting this way! There’s really nothing I can do. I don’t want to complain because I just might be laid off for some off the wall reason!

He also had puchased this home before we were married. Also the SOL had probably run out on this debt before we were married.

Right now I am paying back my student loan at 4.875%. I have the option to do set up an automatic payment with the company who own's my loan. To do this I would receive an additional .25% discount off the interest rate. Is it worth it to do the automatic payment? Or will it take just as long and just as much.

and I in finding a retail space to open a small clothing business. How do I find one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? We are looking foe a space around 17,000 sq ft for about $1,300 a month. There are too many options and we need to concentrate the search. How much do these people charge for helping? We don't have tons of money. Would we be better off driving around and looking ourselves?

Can that even happen? I'm planning on quitting my job, but my employers and manager don't like me because I have kept asking about my late paychecks until I get them. They don't like me, I don't like them. But I want to quit rather than get fired, because I don't want to have to write that I was fired on why I left my last job whenever I apply for another job.

I was wondering how to get a start into the Fashion Buying world in the U.S. Today I interviewed for a Merchant Technology Assistant job with Macy's West in San Francisco. I'm thinking that's a good way to get my foot in the door. Although, it might take awhile to work my way up and actually be involved in the decision making process (and traveling to trade shows or abroad) since Macy's is a large retailer.

So, do any of you guys have any other suggestions on how to get a fashion buying job? Or where would be a good start? I do have previous retail experience and I have a Bachelor's Degree. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks :)

And what should I say when I ask to reschedule? I need something neutral. I understand that things come up, and I don't want to sound like I'm blaming anyone (including myself!). Everything that I can think of saying (we must have gotten our wires crossed..., I was under the impression that..., I was expecting your call) I'd like to reschedule the interview.

I've been talking to a potential employer about my expected compensation. My expectation is say, $ X/hour on W2, the employer says he is willing to offer $(x-10)/hour as pay, again on W2 and $10/hour as per diem.

I am trying to better understand how per diem amount is determined. Based on my research I understand that per diem is not calculated based on the pay or the number of hours worked.

So, here is my question - how is the amount determined for per diem, I am not sure how the employer has fixed the amount to be $10? Is it based on the location and/or any other factor? Also, can it be hourly?

I transferred to a new job for better pay, but this new company doesn't offer a 401k plan. My old company did and I had put some of my money into it. My first question is what financial institution offers the best rates for me to roll over my 401k? My second question would be how do I transfer it from one institution to another?

I have been working for a fairly large corportation for 15 years, and last 7 years I have been working 3 days (part time). I have a 4 months old baby and I am scheduled to go back last week of this month. I assumed that I am going back part time but my manager just called me home and said they have been extremely busy and my only option is to return back to work full time. My DS has severe acid reflux and it will be impossible for me to find someone to take care of him for extra 2 days and also I myself am not ready to go work full time having 2 kids (7 yr old and 4 mnth old). I asked my manager whey she didn't tell me sooner and she said she was too busy. She also said the decision has been made and I don't have any other option (which possibley can mean if I can't come back full time then quit). Can this company (very anti family) do this to me legally? Any advice will be greatly appreicated.
