Is it legal to receive cash (along with a paystub) instead of receiving a payroll check?

Yep, completely legal as long as they are taking out the appropriate deductions.

Nope, not from the same finanical institution.  Most banks will only cash checks for account holders.  Try a check cashing place and pay the fee.

Depends on which payday company your talking about.  Some companies want the original statement from the bank, while others will accept one from the internet.  Let me know what company and  I can tell you.  In Dallas, TX, all you need is your most recent check stub, a bill as proof of residence(light , water or gas), phone bill, and your most  recent bank statement.

Get people to pay you in cash? It's not legal though, but I'm sure it happens all the time.

You've already got a good start on it.  You made your demand, not wait a bit and see if you get a check in the mail.  If not, use the ministry of labour as your proxy.  Whatever they told you about making a claim, do that.  However, be aware that your urgent need doesn't mean that the employer has to drop everything in order to meet your demands.

Highly unlikely if you don't even have a bank account. How would you cash the loan?\n\nThere would be no point in the loan company sending you a cheque as you have no account to pay it into, and they wouldn't be able to pay it direct into your account either.\n\nI wouldn't hold my breath if I were you!\n\nAlso, while I think about it, how do you propose to cash in your compensation payment???

Why don't you ask your local payroll office.  There should be a number on your pay slip.

I don't think so, but I would do three things:\n\n1.  Ask them, in writing, what the status is of your paycheck.  Let them know what date you started, and what you believe the pay period to be.\n\n2.  If you were provided an employee manual, read up on the pay period policy.  If you don't have an employee manual, request one-  at the very least ask them to send you their WRITTEN payroll policy.\n\n3.  I would contact your state's labor / employment office and explain to them what's going on.  They should be able to answer your question right away, and possibly contact your employer.\n\nYou aren't asking for anything unreasonable, and they should be able to answer your questions.  You should also keep track of each time you speak with someone about your paycheck (name of person, date, time, what was discussed) in case you have to refer back to it later.  \n\nGood Luck!

You might want to consider cashing your check by yourself by placing your check in the cash drawer at the Quiznos you work at and taking the amount of the paycheck from the cash drawer.  Once you have done this, I would definately quit since you'll probably get fired anyway.  At least you won't be out the money?

I don't think that your employer has to pay you. You should check with the officials in your state to make sure.

On your pay stub, there should be a "how much was taken out this paycheck" and a "how much has been taken out YTD."  You could ask your employer if it's not provided.

The M/O could "bounce" because it could be fradulent. I would contact the bank regarding the check before depositing to make sure its authentic or bring it in person to your local bank and ask them to verify it.

I worked for a place that direct deposited my checks.  They were required to give us all paystubs.  I know they were required to do so because they were so cheap they squeaked when they walked.  They would never have spent the extra money for stubs if they weren't required to do so.  But...check with a lawyer to be sure.  It might be different in your state, this was in Colorado.

Yep, contact the person in charge of human resources at your local office, at the regional office and headquarters. The next thing to do is call the police and get it on file that you are claiming theft of our check. That way, if someone did take it and cash it, you will still have a chance to get it back. Do it now!!!  If that check is already cashed, there is probably little you can do, other than call a lawyer which would probably cost more than your check is worth.

No this is not legal! You get your wages and then YOU pay your bills. My company does not pay my bills for me!
