Handling waitress unclaimed pay from three years ago












3















Each week our boss gives us payslips with our hours worked and we can cash them right at the place of work. Pretty simple. You get a receipt for your hours worked for the week and a slip to turn into the cash register for payment. If a worker needs a regular "paycheck" instead of cash, that is also arranged. Or if they want their money auto-deposited, that is another option available.



So, we have this one waitress that has worked there for 7 years. She comes in the other day with some of these "payslips" that are almost three years old. She said she found them in an old purse in her closet. She never cashed them in. Now she wants me to bring them into the office to see if they are any good.



How is this situation handled? The amount of all the slips is almost $300.00.

Talk to the owner or the manager. You don't want to be responsible for paying money for a payslip that already has been paid.



As you have noted this is highly unusual for somebody to hold onto these payslips. While it looks like they were never paid there might be some other story. Maybe they were lost and the restaurant replaced them, and they will no longer honor the original ones.



Don't pay any money until somebody with additional authority has approved them and takes responsibility for the situation.

    If the payslips are genuine, and if you're confident there is no scam going on, then you should pay. To be safe, you should check with your manager first.
