Any thought on what to do about a major corporation that just created layoff's, having a severance check bounce? This just happened to my wife and I, and need to know recommended legal steps.
PM if you wish.

So wish I could be of direct help. Seems local media, NLRB, EEOC

and State District Attorney's Offices should at least be informed.

You could call the state District Attorney and/or County Prosecutor and they could point you in the right direction or give you some advise.

googling 'bounced severance check' might help.

when Stanford Financial (re Sir Allen Stanford) started bouncing checks, apparently the Receivers authorized reissuance:

Simply sue them!

Edit: Unless you and your wife worked for BP as oil drillers, in which case I'd heartily run to Alaska and hide. 😉
