My boss hasn't paid me... what can I do?

Question

I am posting this question on behalf of a collegue.

Ok so, I've recently started work in McDonalds, and recieve pay every 2 weeks via Bank Giro Credit. I was paid twice fine, no problems, but my last pay was never put into my bank account.

I asked my boss about it, but she said its a problem with my bank account. She said that there is nothing she can do.

Is this correct? Is there anything I can do to pursuade her to actually check and to stop being so tight with her money? Am I looking at a legal case?

Answer 1

There should be a telephone number for corporate McDonalds on your check stub. Or go to McDonalds Corp. com and look on their for a number to call.

Answer 2

Calling corporate McDonalds isn't likely to get you anywhere, since the place you work is most likely a franchise and the McDonalds corporation has nothing to do with your paycheck.

Tell your boss to forget about trying direct deposit, and just give you your check on paper, then you can deposit it yourself.

Did you call your bank and ask if there is some kind of problem on that end? It sounds pretty unlikely if the first two checks went through OK.
