I work for a seasonal company.
I have 2 checking accounts. On 7/1, they deposited 0.01 into 1 account and my paycheck into the 2nd.
On 7/8, I received a paper check.
On 7/15, I received 0.01 in one account and another paper check.
My next paycheck is going to be paper but eventually the 1st account will be set up for direct deposit. The 2nd account is currently listed as inactive and cannot receive direct deposit. I did not inactivate it. I haven’t logged in or touched anything in months.
I spoke to HR and they told me to call my bank. My bank has no pending deposits. The bank said my routing number may be wrong. There’s nothing my bank can do.
HR emailed me a paystub that shows it was direct deposited into the second account. I emailed them back proof that it wasn’t, but idk what else to do.
Is this wage theft or fraud? How can I get them to see their mistake and reissue my 7-1 paycheck as a paper check? A friend said they couldn’t reissue the deposit but could write a check. I just don’t know how to get them to see that I didn’t get my money.
I’m broke. It was for like $300, so not a small amount of money :/ do I talk to my boss? He’s not very tech savvy so idk how much help he’ll be.
Please advise.
Thank you
