Assuming that they are still in business, your daughter could sue her employer in small claims court for all amounts that she can prove are due her. If she wins, then she will get all of her back pay plus reimbusement for the bounced check charges as well as the costs of filing the suit. Otherwise, she can file a wage complaint with your state's depatment of labor.
