I love my job and my boss but I need security as I am in college. I need to have time and stability while I find another job that works around my school schedule and would like to draw unemplyment. Is this feasible?

I have been paid for the checks that bounced. I just keep getting overdraft fees and whatnot, that are also paid for, but really inconvenient.

I worked for a company once helping to straighten out the books and payroll went like that for a while.
On the one hand, ask the owners what is seriously going on because you are relying on the money, on a certain date.
Then, and don't tell the others this, go talk to the bank where the checks are drawn and ask how you can cash them immediately. There might be enough in the bank to cover your check but not all checks, so if you can get there first, you might get paid.
The owner won't be happy about that, but hey, he gave you the check!
That will only last until others catch on, and they will.
Ask the owners to be upfront each pay period way in advance about when you guys can cash the checks. If it is regularly just a day or two, well, you can adjust your schedule accordingly.
In our case, we paid everyone each Friday by check, and asked them to not cash them until Monday, or else on Monday we gave them cash. As long as we were upfront and made those schedules, they were satisfied and kept working.
Collecting the money owed in that period to make those payrolls every week was not fun though, I don't envy the owner of where you work.

Yes, if a company is bouncing their checks they have breached their contract with you.
When taking the employment you agreed to work for a given wage you are not required to work for free, if they are not paying you that wage they are in violation of that contract.
So you could easily apply and collect unemployment, and you could sue the company for lost wages and pain and suffering.

The length of your employment would matter according to eligibility of benefits.
Also, every State has their own guidelines for Unemployment benefits. - and the qualifications to receive the unemployment benefits.
In most States - when you draw unemployments benefits .. you must be consistantly looked for another job .. and you must report the jobs that you apply for. And you must be available for work .. especially if you get a job offer.

It sounds like you might want to consider getting a lawyer. It is illegal of them not to pay you, and you could be liable for extra money on top of the checks that won't cash.

No, simple answer. If you quit its voluntary and you cant collect unemployment. The best thing to do is tell your boss to pay you up to date, and lay you off, then your covered. Chances are, if hes not paying you he's not paying his taxes either.

I would definitely be looking for another job and legal help to get the money owed to you.

No, you don't get unemployment unless you were fired for a reason other than something malicious. Not if you quit.
