I worked at a company in Georgia for about a year and left on May 25. I provided notice, so I'm eligible for rehire. I was paid semi-monthly and picked up two paper checks for my final payments. The first check, for my hourly pay, was cashed without issue. However, I was instructed to pick up my commission check on June 15, which I did, and immediately deposited it at my bank. Now, over two business days later, the funds haven't been released. My bank informed me that there’s a hold on the check because my previous employer hasn’t verified it or there might be insufficient funds in their account. They said it could take up to 10 days for the funds to clear, which is stressing me out since I’ve been counting on this money to pay my bills. I'm unsure how to proceed and have never encountered this situation before. Any advice would be appreciated.
