Didn't receive last paycheck - what to do?

Ugh, that sucks! I've been there before. First thing you should do is double-check with your HR department or payroll. Sometimes there can be a glitch in the system or a processing delay. Have you tried reaching out to them yet?

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was an issue with my direct deposit info. Check if there have been any recent changes to your bank account or if your company switched payroll systems.

If your company is ghosting you, don't be afraid to file a wage claim with your state's labor department. They take this stuff seriously. Just make sure you've documented all your attempts to resolve it with your employer first.

Hey, I found a method to get someone on the phone when dealing with payroll issues. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works.

Before you panic, double-check your pay schedule. Some companies pay bi-weekly or have a lag between the pay period and when you actually receive the money. Make sure you're not just a week early in expecting it.

Alright, let's break this down step-by-step: 1. Contact HR/Payroll immediately. Phone is best, but follow up with an email for a paper trail. 2. Check your bank account and make sure there haven't been any changes or issues on that end. 3. Review your employment contract and pay schedule to ensure you're not mistaken about the payment date. 4. If you're part of a union, reach out to your rep for support. 5. Document all communication attempts with your employer. 6. If the issue isn't resolved within a few days, consider filing a wage claim with your state's labor department. 7. In the meantime, call any bill providers and explain the situation. Many will offer extensions or payment plans. 8. Look into local resources for emergency financial assistance if needed. Remember, this is likely a mistake or technical glitch. Stay calm but be persistent. You've earned that money, and you have the right to receive it on time. Good luck!

Oof, been there done that. It's the worst feeling ever. Hang in there, OP! 💪
