<prompt> Human: Good morning, rpersonalfinance! I just had a quick question regarding how to diplomatically approach my employer regarding reimbursement.As the title prefaces, my employer was late in giving me my paycheck. We normally get paid on the 25th via direct deposit, and because of who I bank with, I normally get my paycheck a day early. I have several automatic payments for bills set to be taken out on the 26th.Because we dont receive paychecks on weekends, I expected to receive my paycheck on Friday, the 23rd. While that may typically be a lofty expectation, its happened in the past, so I thought it reasonable to expect it this time.I did not receive my paycheck until yesterday, the 26th. The bills for which I had set up automatic payments attempted to charge my bank first before my paycheck hit my account, incurring several overdraft fees because the funds were not available.Im confident my employer will not decline my request, but I was hoping to receive some suggestions as to how to diplomatically request my employer reimburse me for the overdraft fees so that I may better influence the companys decision to approve.Thank any and all in advance!  <response>: The employer has done absolutely nothing wrong. It is your responsibility to ensure you have enough cash.Its precisely for this reason, personally, I simply do not do auto payments. All of my bills except mortgage and car payments are simply charged to my credit cards, and I pay credit cards monthly on a day of my choosing. This system has worked very well for me, and I have never encountered an overdraft fee in a long long time.
