I got a check last week and deposited it-last monday--had to quit that saturday due to a family emergency-- and i find the check was cancelled yesterday for the full amount. do i call the police? what do i do?
Answer:
Yes it is illegal, but good luck getting the police to do anything about it.
This is a civil law matter and will have to be taken to court.
call the DA's office rather than the cops.
Depends on if it was an advance or you have some clause in an employment contract. Normally no, they can't do that. You would have to take them to court though, not the police. Talk to a lawyer.
It is not right to cancel the check just because you quit a job. Even i you quit they are still required to pay you for the time you had worked.
I would find your state labor office and ask them what your rights are. http://www.dol.gov/esa/contacts/state_of... If you have the time you might want to file the papers to take them to small claims court and get your money.
They cannot cancel the check if you already worked the hours that check was paying you for. If that was an advance for hours not worked then yes they can.
Call Attorney General
If you worked and earned that money they can't cancel it. I would contact your employer and find out why the canceled it and contact a lawyer and see what they say about it.
