Q:  A payment check was lost in the mail. What rights do I have to not be terminated?


A:  A payment should be accepted by the employer if it was received in a timely manner. A payment is considered "timely" if it is made with in the 30 days from the due date.  A common law "mailbox rule" can also apply to the timeliness of your payments. So, as long as the payment was mailed by the due date and the post mark can prove that, it is considered timely. Regardless of whether the payment was delayed by the post office, or even their inter office mail is slow, the premium must be accepted.
