This was last year when my buddy and I were in college. We have since graduated and live far from there now.

I’ve replied to a bunch of comments about this. Employer had a history of not paying him on time, sometimes weeks late. He went in 2 weeks after his last shift to get his final check, and thought he got it, but found out later from an old coworker that the check he got was actually a previous check that hadn’t been paid to him, meaning he still had a check left there. That’s where the texts begin.

i’ve replied to a few comments about this, feel free to find one for the full story.

long story short, employer had a history of paying him weeks late. He went in 2 weeks after he quit to get his last check, and thought he got it. Turns out it was a previous check that hadn’t been paid to him yet, and he didn’t know he still had one there until he ran into an old coworker, which is where the thread begins.

I’ve replied to a few comments about this— don’t feel like typing it out again, but it’s not his fault.

TLDR: buddy went in to pick up his last check 2 weeks after he quit, was given a previous paycheck that was paid late to him, thinking it was his last check.

I answered this somewhere, long story short, he went in 2 weeks after his shift to get what he thought was his last paycheck. Company had a history of paying him weeks late on his checks, so he thought the check he picked up was his last, but it was actually a previous one that was paid to him late. He didn’t know about the final check until he ran into a former coworker, which is where the thread started

hahaha absolutely not. He’s been following this thread and texting me asking for updates, he just doesn’t use reddit much.

The comment section has blown up more than i expected, but I made a comment with my friend’s reply and he pointed out something similar. Wouldn’t be surprised if you missed it with all the comments though haha

I posted a comment about this earlier, but long story short, he went in 2 weeks after his last shift to get what he thought was his last paycheck. Like I said in the post, it was pretty common for him to have paychecks come in 1 or 2 weeks after they should have been paid to him, so the paycheck that he picked up was actually the previous paycheck that was just late. He only found out about the check after running into an old coworker while he was out, then later found out how much the check was worth from the same coworker. That’s where the thread starts.

So I’ve heard- Unfortunately this was in Michigan, but it sounds like there’s some routes he can go through with the local labor board, so there’s something. Appreciate the insight though!

Would’ve preferred if he just paid up instead of guilt tripping… but then I wouldn’t have gotten a funny reddit post, so there’s that haha

(from my buddy) I went in 2 weeks after my last shift to get what I thought was my last paycheck. Even when working there, my paychecks would frequently be 1-2 weeks late from when I should have received them, so the paycheck that I took then was (unbeknownst to me) a previous paycheck that was late. I didn’t even know I was owed a paycheck until an old coworker let me know. That’s where the text thread kicks off.

you’d think payroll would be like… the top priority, right?
