My friend moved from California to Connecticut and her ex-boyfriend works at her former place of employment. He told her that he had her check and she asked him to place mail it to her house (they aren't on speaking terms...) A few days pass and nothing happens and he still hasn't sent it out yet. She called the place she worked and they said they'd cut her a new one and mail it to her. And that was a few weeks ago and they still haven't. And they don't call her back when she's had to leave messages. Also, they didn't do anything about her crazy ex-boyfriend taking her check. She told them that she did not give him permission to have it... and now he has her SS number... so I was just wondering if she's got a case there or not.... it's a five star restaurant that probably makes millions a year... haha

They will have to pay her. And pursue the ex-bf for the first check, and prosecute if he forged her signature.
She can complain to the state labor board. Why sue? It would cost more than it's worth, and the state will do it for her free and gratis.

More than likely-she can because 1.) Invasion of privacy 2.) Negliegence on the part of her former employer 3.) Identity theft-much like opening another person's mail-the crazy ex is falsying information and is not entitled to her personal belongings-especially with her name on it. She should get a lawyer.

she can file a complaint against her former workplace to have a check re-issued if they refuse her request for a replacement they illegally gave to someone else..Call the labor board to get more info but i would most likely call the police if she has proof he has her paycheck.. theft is theft he has no right to have it and if her requested then there are other issues that the labor board need to look into with this company.. My sister and I work for the same company in the same store and they don't hand out my checks to her or hers to me...

No, you cannot sue the company for such a greivance. You can take them to civil court if they have broken a law. I don't know what the laws are like in California but I know in Oregon (where I'm from) there are laws requiring employers to make a "good faith effort" to pay their employees "in a timely manner."

IMHO, IANAL< in case you provide up a interest i trust they have till the subsequent customary payday to pay. IF in spite of the undeniable fact that, they fireplace YOU, I do trust they might want to pay you on the way out the door.. i'm positive that this can variety from state to state in spite of the undeniable fact that it shouldn't..... you assert 'Withhold" that leads me to trust you're having a difficulty, an business organization/worker paycheck difficulty might want to certainly bypass to the dep. of demanding artwork, ask on the interior reach employment place of work for further information and likely even information with the place of work artwork.

She needs to talk to wage and labor or insist on talking to their human resources person. If she has any rights because they gave her check out. She can call the social security affice and have her # flagged so that if anything hinky goes on they have to call you with any kind of credit applications applied to that #.

The SSN would not typically be on the check.
Did the business say that they gave the check to the guy? It sounds like you are going on his word, and he doesn't exactly sound trustworthy.

I would tend to think so. Most companies have rules about that sort of thing.
