Resigned and received a pay check [duplicate]

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I resigned from my position from a company in December of last year and I received my paycheck (in January) from the company that I resigned from. This past week I have phoned them numerous times and sent emails querying about over payment. As it is Thursday today I have not heard or received any communication from them

Can someone please advise me in what to do?

Many company pay in arrears, so the paycheck is probably the last of what you earned.

Basically, when you start working somewhere, if you get paid weekly, you get your first paycheck after your second week, which is a week late paying for the whole of your first work week. You then get paid every week, but every paycheck is delayed by a week, so when you leave you get paid after you leave for the time that you worked previously.

Check the paystub, it usually has dates">dates for the time period that the check is for, separate from the date that the check was created.
