    Default Never Received Last Check

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Michigan

    I was fired from my job on 9.7.09. I have not received my last check from my employer. The HR Manager says that it was mailed out on 9.25.09. I was told that they will mail out a stop payment form that I have to sign and mail back. If the check has not been cashed they will reissue me another check. What if someone else received and cashed my check, can my employer refuse to reissue me another one?

    They can until the affidavit of forgery is submitted to their bank and the bank was reinstated the funds to their account. Doesn't mean they will.

    Default Re: Never Received Last Check

    Thank you for responding. I have received the stop payment letter from my ex employer and the language is not very clear. The letter says : "If the above check is cashed, I hereby agree that I will reimburse ABC Corporation the applicable stop payment fee, plus the amount of the check. If I fail to reimburse these amounts, I hereby authorize ABC Corporation to deduct said amounts from future earnings due to me."

    I was concerned because it seems that even if someone else cashed the check, by me signing the letter I am taking all responsibility. My ex employer says that they will not start an investigation until I sign and return the letter. What kind of action should I take?
    Am I able to legally change the wording on the document with a pen, then sign it?

    You can change it, but the company doesn't have to accept the changes.
