I have been getting pressured by the owner of my company to "hold" (i.e. not deposit) two paychecks. Other managers in the company have apparently agreed to do this. I have not. I have been asked to hold checks in the past and have a record of those emails.
The latest email stated that if I were unwilling to go along with this, "company-wide furloughs may result."
I work remotely during the summer months and have not received a paycheck in the mail (we long ago lost direct deposit) since July 27. This was for the pay period 7/10-16, but was marked on the check as pay period 7/10-23. (We are paid weekly, one week in arrears.) The check was handwritten. We were informed that this was because the company had again changed banks.
I have called and emailed my immediate superior about the missing check for the period ending 7/23 and have received no response. I called and emailed again today after finding no check at the post office and received his out of office, "on vacation" response. I am operating on the assumption that the check that was supposed to be issued today, for the period 7/24-30, was also not mailed.
What recourse do I have? What action might I take?
