We don't need to talk about the way Mr. Texanne left our CA income tax refund (back then, you did get it) in his pocket, then we did the laundry, and . . . well, the CA Tax Equalization board got a good giggle out of it. Right now, I'd love to know what I did with Mom's power of attorney. Sigh.

Yet I had a problem with such a process over ten years ago when leaving a company. <br /><br />I was shorted a large chunk of cash. But because the direct deposit ran on a set schedule, I only found out about it a week after leaving and wasn't able to dispute about the missing money. By that time, they had come up with made-up excuses that laid the blame on my work ethic even though I wasn't fired from the job or ever reprimanded. I left it on my own accord for something better. But they still docked me pay.<br /><br />From that circumstance, I now prefer a physical check in my hand.Michelle H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10117937124348728578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169129998329537448.post-81085993196097217112010-03-23T10:49:32.343-04:002010-03-23T10:49:32.343-04:00I'm glad you found your check, but hasn't ...I'm glad you found your check, but hasn't your employer learned about that new fangled thing called 'Direct Deposit'?
