You can contact your employer to re-issue a check to pay for your month's wages. If he refuses to do so, you can sue him for issuing you a check that isn't valid and for not paying the wages that is due to you for working for him for the month.

How do you cash a check someone wrote me but what if the check bounces?

The bank will hold you responsible for the bounced check. But you can sue the person who wrote you the check that bounced for the check amount and for the resulting penalties and your court costs.


Can you go to jail if the cash advance cashes your check and it bounces?

Yes and No. The cash advance establishment or bank you used will notify of you that your check bounced and give you a certain amount of time to pay the debt. If it is not paid within that time the check becomes "hot" and will be sent to an attorney for the state. Then the attorney will notify you (usually by mail) and give you a certain period of time to pay the debt (usually in full). If you can not pay the debt in the time they have allowed for you they will usually work with you and assign you a later pay date. Only if you ignore the matter or do not pay when it comes to this point will a warrant be issued for your arrest. The whole process seems to take quite a while. They want you to settle your debt without getting court and court fees (including a lawyer, because in most states a check over a certain amount is a felony) involved.
