...And an update.
Yesterday a final "fuck you" arrived in the mail courtesy of the Elongated Hexagon Inn.
It was a check for almost $100, and printed on the check was the disclaimer that the check was void after 90 days. By looking at the postmark and the date on the check -- which I had not been expecting because I had direct deposit for my paychecks from them -- I was able to find out that they waited exactly 90 days to mail it.
They made double damn sure that the check would be expired before they sent it, and at no time in the past three months did they ever try to get ahold of me to tell me I had money sitting around there.
Discuss.Drive it like it's a county car.

If this is money they owed you, then take it along with the postmarked envelope to the local labor board. If you feel like it, you might want to first let them know that unless you receive a negotiable check in the next three days, you WILL take this to whoever you have to go to, to get them in trouble. It may not be a lot of money but if they owe it to you, they have no right to keep it. Frankly I would probably just head over to the labor board without giving the assholes advance warning. At least call and find out what recourse you may have to get your money.When you start at zero, everything's progress.

Yeah, pretty sure that's illegal. From the DOL site, "If the regular payday for the last pay period an employee worked has passed and the employee has not been paid, contact the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division or the state labor department."
I probably wouldn't pursue it over $100, but then again, I AM a pretty bitter person. So maybe I would...Replace anger management with stupidity management.

I got lucky when I took it to the bank. Their view was that as the check was only a few days past its expiration date, and since the envelope was clearly marked with the date it had been processed, they cashed it.
Now, if Elongated Hexagon tries giving me any trouble, I bounce them to the bank and tell them to kiss my hairy ass.Drive it like it's a county car.
