Reissuing payroll checks

carolynb

I was just curious what your policy is for reissuing payroll checks...
Do you make your employee wait before reissuing -If so, how long?
Do you charge a fine -If so, how much?
Reissue no questions asked -Are you a large/small company?

Welcome to the forum!

Due to automatic deposits we have not had to reissue a paycheck for years. Our policy has not changed though. The employee must sign an avidavit that they have not cashed the check and will not cash it should they find it. We issue a stop payment and reissue the check to the employee. The process takes about 2 days. We feel that is penalty enough, though we might revisit it if we had someone who was consistantly losing paychecks and causing us problems. Otherwise, we see it more like employees who lose a W2.

We are a small company.

Hope this answer helps.

We also have mandatory direct deposit. This has eliminated such problems.

I wish we could require all employees to sign up but since we are almost in every state, state law don't allow that...

Thanks for the welcome and the answers!
