You put in your time and you earned it. Why put yourself in a position to lose your money if your paycheck is lost or stolen? It is a simple matter to protect your paycheck, according to Payroll Department Manager, Keith McGee. "Protecting your paycheck is largely a matter of caution," McGee said. "Don't endorse your paycheck until the moment you are ready to cash it or deposit it. If vou endorse your check and it is lost or stolen, you are likely to lose your money. You have given someone an opportunity to cash your check without having to forge your signature. A merchant who cashes your check will usually not have to repay you if your endorsement was on the check at the time the thief or a finder cashed the check.

Merchants often re-quire complete identification before cashing a check?unless the merchant knows personally the person for whom the check is cashed. To protect themselves, merchants should also place a "for deposit only" endorsement on all checks they cash as soon as they receive them. "If a oaycheck is lost or stolen, it takes a minimum of 30 days to replace it," McGee cautioned. "This is a Payroll Department policy. The 30-day period allows time for the paycheck to show up.

The Economic Recovery Act of 1981 provided a deduction for two-earner married couples of up to $3,000 in 1983, double the maximum amount allowed last year, further reducing the so-called "Marriage Tax Penalty." For 1983. the IRS said, working couples will be able to subtract ten percent of the Child Care Credit Helps Taxpayers who pay others to care for their children while they work may qualify for a special tax credit, the Internal Revenue Service says. This Child Care Credit applies not only to babysitters and day care centers that watch your child or disabled dependent while you work, but also to relatives and certain household workers you pay for this service. This credit is available to married couples who file jointly, including those in which one spouse works and the other is a full time student or disabled. The credit also applies to a divorced or separated parent who has custody of a child under 15, even though the parent may not be entitled to a dependency exemption for the child. The parent claiming the credit must, however, have custody for a longer period during the year than the other parent. you see... ble Bailey Plant employees in filing for temporary unemployment benefits ...
