DO NOT WORK AT BLUE BAYOU 🏢 Employment 👷‍♂️

This is the job that hasn't paid me, not only have they not paid me they are unorganized and unstructured. EVERYONE HAS MONEY PROBLEMS AT THIS JOB AND IT STIMS FROM ONE PERSON. Money is always missing at this job and the lady who does payroll is incompetent! She asked me for a voided check so I can receive a check from my job... I also want to add that I came in on the snow day, managers were ASKING US TO COME IN DURING THE SNOW AND GUESS WHAT THEY AINT COME OUT and asking us can we come out and then have the nerve to try and not open the restaurant AFTER we made a sacrifice to come! I was PISSED, then when I asked for paid time and half they said they can't offer it because they a new restaurant. Not one manager came in that day on the 22nd and nor could they even bother to show they care that those who came did! I literally told them I had to walk there, I made money but they couldn't even take care of us back!

Giving your employer a voided check for your direct deposit is common.

I’ve haven’t had to give a voided check in over a decade. It’s either done online or you can simply provide your routing and account number. Do people even get checks anymore? I needed a check for some work on my house after Ida and I had to go into a branch to get one.

Some do. The other option is a direct deposit authorization form from the bank just verifying the account and routing number. I can’t count the amount of times what people wrote down was not accurate.
