Your employer has to pay you for work done; and should also pay you for any bounced check fees. Informer your employer of what happened; the employer should correct the situation and issue a new check. If they do not, contact your state department of labor--the department may be able to help you. If they do not, you could sue the employer, such as in small claims court (acting as your own attorney, to save legal expenses) for the money owed you.
