I am employed with a company that physically deposits my check into my bank account. Last Friday I received my deposit and by Wednesday I was notified by the bank that the check bounced. I have been contacting them and now no one will answer me. What can I do to get my money? My state's department of labor will not do anything because I am a truck driver. They are a small company. They are in Iowa. I am from Illinois. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Are you in the truck now? Are you near Illinois? Top off the fuel tanks and get home ASAP. That company is in financial straits.
First things first: Get home safely. And then work in the back pay

How much do they owe?
You can't get blood from a turnip. They can't give something they don't have. Move onjamespmack, lilnae, bentstrider83 and 1 other person Thank this. -
You will probably have to sue in small claims court. The problem is, if they’re bouncing checks, their creditors will be having a feeding frenzy. There won’t be anything left or anyone to talk to.
If you were able to get a cash advance weekly, I’d get one to have some cash in hand.brian991219, jamespmack, 6wheeler and 2 others Thank this. -
Get home fast before they go out of business and leave you stranded. It happened to me, I ignored the bounced check, figured they would make it right. I was wrong and ended up holding the bag for thousands when a whole bunch of my past paychecks suddenly came back.

Bouncing your payroll check is a warning. Not answering the phone afterward is confirmation. Change jobs immediately.

STOP RIGHT NOW. If you're loaded, get rid of the load, head 'er back empty, and clean out the truck. There's no excuse for not making payroll, it's the 1st thing that should be covered. In all my jobs, I can't ever remember a payroll check bouncing.

Yes, get the truck home so you can start selling parts to recoup your money
