So even though she technically makes more than minimum wage, her money isn't getting to her!! I am so frustrated and angry I don't know what to do. She is 18 and has Aspergers. THe company is Dollar General in Jaffrey NH.

I don't understand why she didn't get her paycheck, perhaps a banking error? You said in another post it is direct deposit and that you made her quit the job but surely the missing check is a mistake? I hope she gets paid and finds another job she likes.

It was pre-recorded, then aired on a local AM station. I listened to it.

Minimum guaranteed income stops stigmatizing those that do not/cannot work. Just saying.
