What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I worked as a marketing rep hawking credit card applications at an event in April, 2009 as an independent contractor. The company I worked for is based out of FL.
After 9 weeks, I finally got my paycheck for the time I worked, and noted some strange things: a) check processed May 21, 2009; b) Check dated June 5, 2009, and c) check finally mailed to me July 5, 2009. Not a big deal, cause it's all good, I thought.
Took the check to the bank the check was drawn on, and when I went to the teller, the teller told me that they could not cash the check, as there were insufficient funds in the account. This check was only for $318.00.
I have attempted to contact the marketing company, and have left numerous voicemails and emails for them, but they have not responded. Not only did my check bounce, but also the checks of the other 3 people that also worked that week. The supervisor that I worked for actually talked to the marketing company last Tuesday, and they were supposed to call him back that afternoon, but have yet to contact any of us about when we can expect our pay.
What can I do?? I really need this money to pay bills, and it's taken too long to receive payment in the first place, since we were told it would be six weeks and it was nine weeks. How long should I wait before contacting the police?? What would happen if the police got involved? Will I ever see this money???
