I work for a hospital system that states they only issue payment via direct deposit. When you get hired you’re required to fill out a direct deposit form to be hired. I worked for this company previously and was never issued a paper check, not even for a first check. However, this time they issued my first check via mail stating that HR never sent over my direct deposit slip to payroll. It’s been a week since I was supposed to get my first check and am now getting hit with late fees from bills I was hoping to pay with that check. When I’ve been emailing Payroll they said that it wasn’t their problem and that it was probably the bank/USPS.
What are my options/what should I do? I know it has to be 10 days until I can file with my state’s labor bureau. Thank you in advance.
