Bouncing Paychecks Hurt Workers

When Rich Spencer received his paycheck Feb. 22, he didn’t waste any time. He went straight to the bank to cash it. The checks from Millwood Manufacturing had been a little rubbery of late, and Spencer didn’t want to take any chances. A co-worker got there first, and his check was cashed. “But I went to cash mine, and they said the account … had no funds available,” said Spencer, a 39-year-old wood craftsman. His co-worker “was about two minutes in front of me. I was really happy for him, because the last two checks for him had bounced”/ Shawn Vestal , SR. More here .
