What happens when uncashed checks have a stop payment placed?

  1. Checks are destroyed

  2. Checks are reissued immediately

  3. Employees must request a reissue

  4. Employees can only cash the original checks

The correct answer is: Employees must request a reissue

When a stop payment is placed on uncashed checks, employees must request a reissue. This is the correct answer because placing a stop payment does not automatically mean that new checks will be reissued. Employees need to be proactive in requesting a reissue of the checks that have been stopped in order to receive their payment. This process ensures that the funds are properly routed to the intended recipient and that there are no issues with double payments or lost funds. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the standard procedure for dealing with uncashed checks that have had a stop payment placed on them.
