Businesses have their share of bad hires. Mine cost my law firm well into the six figures in wasted payrolls, management problems, lost opportunities, correction of problems, etc., etc., etc.

A small business owner told me that he has a “zero comeback” policy for employees. Once they quit, they're gone for good, with zero exceptions. As he put it, “You gotta bury the dead and get on with the living.”

It’s your lucky day! You just won a foreign lottery! The letter says so. And the cashier’s check to cover the taxes and fees is included. All you have to do to get your winnings is deposit the check and wire the money to the sender to pay the taxes and fees. You’re guaranteed that when they get your payment, you’ll get your prize.

The next time you write a check to your local merchant, the cashier may hand it back to you after the payment has been processed – electronically. Or maybe you’re mailing a check as payment to a company. That payment, too, may be processed electronically. Why? More merchants and companies are using electronic check conversion, which converts information from your paper check into an electronic payment from your bank account. In fact, NACHA – the Electronic Payments Association – estimates that more than 1.7 billion paper checks were converted through in-store and mail-in transactions in 2005.

If you write checks, you should know about a new law called “Check 21.” Under the law, your paper checks can be replaced with paper copies called “substitute checks.” You also may experience electronic — and faster — processing of your checks.
