Flabbergasted

I am utterly shocked. My paycheck bounced almost two weeks ago, and my employer deposited two personal checks in my account to cover it. Now, they have both bounced. My account is overdrawn, and I don't know what to think, let alone do.
Please pray.

will do just remember he should pay for your check and all overages. I have had that happen at previous jobs in the past, the best thing to do is for now on start cashing your check then deposit, It can be a little aggrivating but if you dont know if it will clear make sure by cashing the check at his bank not yours.

Praying for your situation, Mike. One Love's advice is good; you will just have the declined check in hand much faster to take to your employer to ask them to make good on it - you might want to ask them to pay you with cash.

If this is a ONE time thing....mistakes happen.....but I'd be looking to call the Labor Board.

Yesterday, my boss deposited $800 cash in my account which, after covering the overdraft and attendant fees, left it $8 and some-odd cents in the black. My boss also told me to take $80 out of the cash drawer here to tide me over till today, when I get my next paycheck. I told him I would be taking that over to his bank to cash it after work today, because I need to be sure it clears as most of it would go for my rent. We'll see what happens after that.
My church, upon hearing about my plight, has been generous, as always. The alms committee gave me a $50 Quik Trip card for gas, and $100 in certificates for Aldi's, so I won't be going hungry anytime soon. My only concern at this point is whether or not the check I get today will clear so I can pay my rent. But even if it doesn't, I know my church will help me again, or the Lord will provide in some other way.
Thanx for the prayers and counsel.

Your employer owes for the overdraft fees, all of them.
The company I work for had a one time problem where paychecks bounced. It was a bank error actually, they did not automatically transfer payroll funds to the payroll account like they are supposed to. The company paid every employees fees and made it all good. I'm sure the company's bank ended up footing the bill though.
Labor board is for union stuff. The dept. of Labor, state version, should be able to help with the payroll probs. Don't let him slide; you don't work for free unless it is verbalized up front as volunteer work.

Took my paycheck to the bank, and it cleared. Glory to God.

Thank the Lord for answering prayer. But Fullquiver is correct if you lost any money over this whole issue it is owed to you..

The bounced paycheck was $691.06. After the $880 he has paid, he owes me $106.06, which he has promised to pay. I don't think there will be any problem with collecting it.
