Spiritually speakingmarilyn m postedI know this has nothing to do with religion but i know and trust many of you in this catagory so here goes. at my place of employment they have checks from past employees some have been done for quite some time. one has been done for a year. can they legally keep these checks from people?aren't they obligated to mail them to them? additional---------------------- let me add that what if they don't know they had a last check coming to them? they can't ask for it if they don't know about it. in that case do they still have to try to let let person know about it,legally? Sponsored Link-------------------------- loufedalis repliedSpiritually speaking, they should attempt to get the checks to the employees. Legally speaking, the employee has the responsibility for either going to get the check, asking the company to mail the check to them, either at the companies expense or by sending a self addressed stamped envelope for its return. jim C replieddepends on which country you live in, see a lawyer Marty repliedI would see an attorney on this it may fe some form of fraud I don't know. nickyvegas repliedthey are supposed to mail them Michael K repliedYou are not speaking spiritually, nor do I think you could. Preston repliedWe should be honest in all things! Kelly repliedWhat kind of checks? Payroll? Bonus? If they are in the US then yes, they are obligated to mail them to the past employees as the taxes for this have already been paid by this employee. If the check is returned in the mail (due to bad address) the they are required to try to notify the employee. All employment application forms have an "In Case of Emergency" address/phone number where they can locate the employee if they can no longer notify them at their normal number or address. Unless they are doing everyting possible to notify the past employee, they will be opening themselves up to a possible lawsuit by the Labor Board and State and/or Federal Tax Commissions. TLM Prime repliedThey are, or at least inform the person receiving the check that its there. OM NOM NOM® Z'wut I du repliedNo.
