There is nothing you CAN do until Monday and you try to cash the check again. Someone was probably late in getting to the bank, any number of things can happen. If there is a problem money wise you can eventually go to the labor board, but if the company is going out of business, good luck getting paid - you won't.
It's probably more unusual for a business check to bounce than a personal check but it can happen. All state laws are different but for it to be a criminal offense like fraud it would have to be intentional or if they refuse to pay you after getting a demand letter. The bottom line is that if the check doesn't clear, then they still owe you the money.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
