Is there a resource we can all use to find out if our employer is in a similar situation?

Off to the Department of Labour, they won't look kindly on late paychecks.

For those unaware, dept of labor takes late paychecks seriously and will help you as a worker. Late paychecks and other forms of wage theft make up the single largest category of theft. Too bad more people are riled up over small time crimes like shoplifting leaving many in the dark about what they can do about their employers stealing from them.

This article is slightly click-baity. The payments are delayed in some cases, not held out altogether. From what I'm hearing so far, Rippling has changed banks over night and has instructed all clients to update the ACH filters accordingly. Only payroll cycles caught in-between will be affected, but even then they are delayed, but not held.

That would still be a disaster for me. But I guess that says more about me and my lack of financial stability, than it says about anyone else..

Oof, heavy hit for people relying on those paychecks being timely. Decent of Rippling to cover overdraft fees of those affected, at least.

Can you imagine the conversation this morning?

"Hey, your paycheck won't be coming today and I need you drop what your doing and make an emergency change to our apis so that we can use JP Morgan Chase. We're going to have to skip all the usual test environments."

Both categories of crime are serious. I don't know why that's not an option.

Who will be liable? The employer? Rippling?

Kind of annoying that the CEO is writing out details on twitter before they contact the affected companies...

Better to hear directly from the CEO in a distributed fashion. I see that as taking ownership (compare to LastPass)

Fun fact: the catholic church considers both murder and late wages "sins that cry to heaven". If someone can't make the rent because someone else messed up it can have enormous ripple effects.
