If your paychecks are being delayed, that means that this company's having a serious cashflow problem and probably won't be in business for very much longer. You need to dust off the old resume and start pounding the pavement looking for a new job (preferably one that isn't about to go into bankruptcy). Good Luck.

A friend of mine went to the State Dept of Labor Wage and Hour division for this same problem. Now the government is involved to help her get her money. She is missing 7 paychecks total as they keep delaying the next check, and the one after that.
You can't be fired for reporting the issue to the authorities. But I agree w/ the last post that suggested you dust off your resume. This is NOT a secure job.
One more piece of advice- you need to be sure that any money withheld from your paychecks for taxes etc, is ACTUALLY being deposited and on time. Once a company defaults on several of these deposits they can be shut down for non-payment of payroll taxes. You could go to work tomorrow and find the door is chained up! Good-bye job, forever.
I hope this ends much better for you, just know you need to look out after yourself.

Just because paychecks are delayed in large companies does not mean they are having financial problems. I assume this is a large company since you said he won't call the corporate office.
You can call the labor deparment and they will get to the bottom or it. But be careful that you have not voiced your opinions to loud in the office as they will then know who called.

Contact the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor.
In most cases, delays are explained by human error, late submission of time sheets, computer problems and the like. Sounds to me that the company is "playing the float", holding your wages to collect more interest on their money.
