<prompt> Human: Odd situation brewing. I accepted a job in which I work every other weekend. I have another job M-F, so I am only at the new job outside of regular office hours. The first paycheck I received by mail because there is a 90 day probation period before setting up direct deposit. Kinda weird, but whatever.Two more pay periods have gone by and I have yet to get another paycheck. A week after not getting a check, I left a written note for the office manager and provided a self addressed stamped envelope so my check could be mailed. The next day I left a voicemail and I asked for a call back and never got one. I waited another week, and called. The office manager was gone and the receptionist said checks are never mailed-come get it M-F 8:30-4:30. Or, if I wanted, I could fax a written request and she would forward it to office manager for approval. I explained 1 my first check was mailed 2 I requested in writing it get mailed already 3 I live and work too far away to come get it during M-F business hours. She said nobody mentioned anything to her so nothing she couldwould do for me. I then called my supervisor I never see. She told me shed get right on that first thing Monday morning. Its Wednesday night and no check, no call-not even an email.Anyone have any idea what my recourse might be? I live in California if that makes any difference. I really like my job and only took it to fund a 401K. Just the other day I designated 70 to go to 401K. In a pay period or two, I will be taking home very little so this stuff wont bother me so much.But still! How crazy is it that the employer wont mail or use direct deposit from the beginning?Any way I can extract my paychecks without jeopardizing my job? Thanks in advance!  <response>: Honestly you probably could have done something before. If you want to give them one more chance talk to them. If not you should definitely contact department of labor. California is especially rigorous in many of those things so they should definitely take care of that.Take it as a lesson. Employers cant just not pay you.
