An employee lost his paycheck. We put a stop payment on the check. Someone found the check and cashed it at a deli store. We issued a new check to the employee. We have been contacted by a collection's agency representing the deli. What do we do?

If the deli cashed the cheque wihout verifying the person cashing it was the recipient, and without verifying the cheque was valid, it is their fault. I don't think the collection agency can do anything, as the deli is at fault for not verifying the information before issuing the money.

I thought that most places required a photo ID to cash checks. A photo ID with a signature to be compared to that on the check.

That was my belief. Which is why the deli should be the one accountable.

Well, this is America. NOBODY is accountable for their actions as long as there is someone else that can be blamed.

Like I mentioned above the employee endorsed the check. So.. will need to check it out with the bank and see if they have some suggestions. Good comments so far guys!

I'm pretty sure that it's illegal for an employer to hold onto an employee's check [refusing to pay them when it's payday]. Am I right? And I'm also pretty sure that it's illegal for an employer to hand an employee's check to a different employee. Right?
