<prompt> Human: Im probably the only person in the world that has ever done something like this. I mean who wouldnt want to get the money they worked for asap? I cant imagine anyone has ever made such a stupid mistake.I have 11 checks I didnt cash that are worth 5,000 total. The checks are from July 2015. Part of me was willing to lose that money just because I was too ashamed to bring it up with my employer. However, the thought of it has been keeping me up at night. Knowing that because of my own stupidity I am going to lose 5,000. Months of work down the drain. So is it still possible to get that money? Did I wait too long? Should I even ask? Is it fair to ask?Even if theres nothing I can do Im just glad I got to share my stupidity other people. Been holding it in for too long.  <response>: A while back I found a 280 paycheck in my desk that was 3-4 years old.Payroll reissued it without any hassle. No questions.Its your money.
