5.3. Stop payment information

• A “stop payment” can be placed on a check. Because Paycor charges MI a fee to place a stop on a check, Payroll recommends you wait at least 7-10 business days to see if you receive the check or if the check is returned to MI by the post office. If a check is returned to MI as undeliverable, it can be re-mailed with a corrected address on it and no fee is involved.
• If you wish to place a stop on a check, Payroll will need the pay period/pay date, correct mailing address, the check #, and check amount, which you can view in Paycor. To view your paystubs, follow the directions given in Section 5.2. 
• If you request a stop on a check, please keep the following in mind:
  • Depending on the reason for the stop, you may be responsible for part of the stop check fee from Paycor.
  • If you request a stop on a check, it takes 7 to 10 business days before Payroll is notified by Paycor that they can re-issue the check.
  • If you then received the original check during the 7- to 10- business-day timeframe, it would no longer be cashable.
  • When Payroll receives the funds back from Paycor, the funds will be re-issued either as a direct deposit (if you have entered new and accurate banking information), to your Paycor VISA card, or as a check that will be mailed to you at the address on file for you in Paycor. Please be sure your address is correct in your Paycor account. 

Note: Re-issued wages are dispensed on the next pay date. (See Chapter 1.8 for the Pay Schedule.)
