What to do about a missing paycheck?
The company I work for messed up paychecks for a lot of employees over 3 months ago by splitting 1 check for 2 weeks pay into 2 checks for 1 week each. I got the first weeks pay check but I never got my 2nd weeks paycheck and I’ve asked management time and time again about it but all they tell me is they’ll look into it and never follow up on it. What should I do?

If your company has a human resources department you need to go to it and voice your complaint about your missing pay check. Follow up with an e mail or letter to human resources on the subject.
If there is no human resources department, contact your supervisor about such and request that something be done in the next five (5) days or so. If nothing is done, then you need to contact your local department of labor about the problem. After all you are owed a pay check with accrued interest.
