does anyone know (employers)

[vampire-teddy]

I am usually paid in cash by my workplace on a friday.  last week they paid by cheque with no prior notice which meant that I cannot access the funds until later this week.  is this allowed.  it was lucky last week we had some spare money but sometimes it would make the difference between eating or not.    also does anyone know what temperature is considered acceptable in an office environment.  my office is tiny and very hot (reached 34) last friday and has no air con.  it is also attached to a kitchen which doesn't help.

You realise that this thread is from 10 months ago? Why are you dragging it back up again?

maybe the business is 'short of funds' and paid you by cheque to fulfill it's obligation and so that you couldn't cash it until funds came in.

By cash? That seems unuasul to me. I thought all offical employers paid by check so they could keep track, or the government could keep track of one's income. Anymore, many companys have stoped handing out checks in favor of direct deposit. That didn't set right with me, because one could not easally see if they were paid for all hours worked, overtime and such, without getting a balance from their bank. Also it requires one to have a bank account and doing the math.
