How to handle a situation in which i am receiving late paycheques

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

Note: Salary transfers are done through online transactions.

I switched to a new company two months back. I got my first salary by cheque delayed by 7-8 days because of some bank account issue. So, I ignored the delay.

This time again the same thing is happening. I have decided to tell the HR that i wont take the pay cheque and they should directly transfer the salary (which is the usual process).

Everyone else is receiving their deposits like normal - it's just me that this is happening to.

Is my approach correct? Am i being rude? Will this have a negative impact on HR(s) in spite of the fact that this mistake should not have happened and that too twice!

As your employer is meant to pay you via a direct BACS transfer as per their href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/terms">terms in your contract of employment, this is reasonable ground to refuse to accept the cheque and request that they make payment via bank transfer.

If they genuinely have problems with their bank however, it may be not be possible for them to make payment via this method until the href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/issues">issues are resolved (and you can't get blood out of a stone) so you may not have any href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/option">option other than to accept the cheque or wait for them to resolve the href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/issues">issues at the bank.

Providing you diplomatically explain your reasons for refusing the cheque due to failure to pay you on time, I would expect them to understand your grounds and it shouldn't cause any future uneasiness between yourself and the HR department. The bottom line is that it is the employer that is not adhering to their own href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/terms">terms of contract which places greater weight on your side.
