In the US, an employer is required to pay an employee for ones's time on the job, and may only be withheld up to 30 days. To some, this means signing onto a job, working for a limited amount of time, demanding for their paycheck, and leaving. This reflects an incompetent hiring process and lowers morale. In some cases, they will call and/or come in, asking if they can/will receive their paycheck on payday. A Wonder Check is called such because it leads others to wonder how they earned it in the first place, and wonder why they left at all.
