This have been an excruciating process. It took four emails and three phone calls, but they finally issued me a new check, which was cashed and paid. The problem was they shorted me $5 on the reissued check. It took another phone call to get them to say they would send me the missing $5. I still haven't seen that payment yet, however. The other thing that bugged me was there was never any hint of an apology for bouncing the first check, or making me call, call, write and write, all to get them to pay what they owed. It will be a long time before I work for them again. I don't get what this company is thinking.
