Dearest Direct Deposit:

[lurkerwithout]

Where's my money? Its 4 am. So where is the money? I look and no money. I look again. Still no money. Where is it? Perhaps you misunderstand our relationship. In exchange for labor from the employee (which is to say me) the employer gives up some of their money. They do this by Directly Depositing it into my bank account. Thus there is no waiting for checks. There is no picking up of checks. There is no cashing of checks. There is only me having my money. Which I do not have. So again. Where? Is? The Money?

UPDATE: Apparantly, since it was Christmas, payroll decided to take a week off from doing the EASY part of their jobs. So no direct deposit on this check. I have to drive the fuck down to work, pick up my check and then drive to the fucking bank, wait in the FUCKING LINE ALL SO I CAN HAVE MY FUCKING MONEY. I am not fucking happy. You can MAIL OUT A CHECK, but you can't PUSH A FUCKING BUTTON TO MOVE ONE BIT OF ELECTRONIC DATA FROM ONE BANK TO ANOTHER!

And my direct deposit normally hits by 1 or 2 am at the latest...

Generally, when there is a holiday, like Christmas, the money will be deposited a day late. Usually at the start of the next business day I believe.

I had this discussion with my bank yesterday. Along with a helping of, "My Morgage doesn't care that it is Christmas!"

At least at my bank, they don't update the online account display (to reflect items that posted the previous business day) until five or six in the morning.

If that's not the problem, then you need to check with your company. Maybe they didn't upload the payroll in time...which would surely give you just cause to be annoyed.

My DD never shows until 0600 or so.
