Long story short I work in a small office and my boss didn't get my check signed before he left for vacation yesterday.

Everyone else will get their check today. I work at the business office in New Orleans and am the only person on the payroll of the company my boss owns in Lafayette, where the checks were sent to be signed by the admin there.

This is the first time this has happened and it won't hurt me waiting until Monday. It just pisses me off a bit.

How should I handle the situation.

Be independently wealthy like most people on this board.

make a joke about it when he gets back. Be like "I had to eat ramen noodles all weekend."

How he responds should dictate next move.

If he's genuinely like "OH shite! my bad" and gets you a check asap, then no worries.

If he's a dick, check his knuckles, then beat his arse.

Will it put you in a bind?

I did electrical work out of High School and my boss simply couldn't afford to pay me until he got paid from the homeowner. I just sucked it up and threw him a bone. He appreciated it after the fact.

Let him know you aren't happy about it.

If nothing is said there won't be an effort to keep it from happening again next time.

You should quit because your boss isn't smart enough to auto deposit your check. It's basically free.....

People still do regular pay checks? Wow

Yeah he has some reason for not doing direct deposit that doesn't make sense. I don't know, payroll is done in house and he thinks paper checks are easier.

I'm not in a bind. And I'm an accountant so I know we're not short on money.

If it doesn't hurt you why does it piss you off?

Your boss is probably not that concerned, not because he's inconsiderate, but rather because he assumes correctly that you're an adult not living paycheck to paycheck

You should put in for vacation from 4/1 - 4/16.

I guess it's just disrespectful. My boss is an a-hole. If we were friends I wouldn't mind at all and would joke about it like someone suggested.
