Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Re: Old paycheck

You might try asking to speak to a manager or VP at the bank, especially if you are a good customer. Perhaps they can help. The check should still be good (the 2-year statute of limitations period is a separate issue) as it is legal tender (althought here may be commercial paper laws that apply). If the bank can cite a law or statute of limitations that says the check is no good, ask them for a legal cite (a statute or other law or regulation), then repost your question with that cite.

Good luck.

Re: Old paycheck

If it was less than 2 years old I would advise you to sue them for unpaid wages. The problem is that there is a two year statute of limitations on unpaid wages, so you may not now be able to bring a claim anymore.
