The company I work has loads of problems and there have been issues with us getting paychecks a day late or so. I really need a new job, but have not yet had the time to seriously look due to school keeping me busy. 

The current issue is: we got a call today saying that the company is changing banks, so they closed their account at the original bank. I don't think the new account is open yet. Because of this, our direct deposit account will not be there to provide payment (which is supposed to be at midnight tonight). They said that rather than us getting paid normally, either in checks or direct deposit, that my manager is to use cash that would be normally used for the daily deposits at the store, even if it is not enough to cover all of our paychecks. 

When they have been late on payment before, they typically give us the runaround and do not give us straight answers as to what is going on; they normally use long weekends as an excuse, or would 'forget' to include the checks with the order. I should also add I haven't had issues since I started direct deposit to my bank account.

My question is, what should I do if I don't receive payment tonight as I should? Part of me wants to take whatever I can, even if it is cash, because I am worried that the longer my pay gets put off, the more likely it will be that it will get lost in the shuffle. But, I also know it is sketchy to receive payment in cash, especially if it is not in full. If I don't receive payment, I will file a complaint with the labour board, but I'm not sure how long that will take and how long it will then take for me to get my proper payment.

Also, I'm just pissed off at this company for taking so much for granted; just be decent and treat your employees right.

My workplace is being shitty and saying that they changed banks and won't be able to pay us in the normal fashion; want us to use cash instead. I will file a labour

my job is being sketchy about paying me, not sure if I should just take whatever I can get in cash, even if it is not in full.
