Question

Can u ask your boss if u can pick your paycheck each time u get paid instead of mailing it ?

Answer 1

Payroll might actually be done by an outside firm.  For example our company transmits everything to ADT who handles direct deposits and I think mailing of checks or non-negotiable check/stubs for those with direct deposit.

If you do not trust security of your mailbox, use direct deposit, or get a PO box or a box at a UPS store.  I split direct deposit my pay to 2 accounts (1 for home payments), but use a PO box for anything else credit related (not an unlocked box at the street).

Answer 2

That possibility is going to depend on how your payroll department works. Unless you work for a very small company your boss probably doesn't have any control over it. You should probably speak with payroll or HR to see what options you have for getting paid. Most larger companies will only mail your check or direct deposit it into your bank account. I find the latter most convenient.

Answer 3

get direct deposit or else tell him not to mail it. Tell him you will pick it up. It's your money...use it when you want!

Answer 4

You can certainly ask. You'll never know unless you do.

Answer 5

i think you should if you dont want it to be mailed anymore

Answer 6

just simply let him know with all the thefts going on with checks these days, your simply not comfortable with the idea of it coming by mail. and that you definetly would very much appreciate if he could simply set it aside for you or give him a void check for direct deposit. to go into your account.
