If a mailed paycheck has not been received, what should the employer do?

The employer said it takes 10 days to put a trace on mailed items, but isn't it their responsibility to make sure employees are paid timely? How long should an employee have to wait, and especially since the check may never come? They have the correct address so that wasn't the problem.

Update:

Yes, I live very close by and can pick it up. I only asked them to mail it because I was on vacation and couldn't get there. They expect me to keep waiting I guess, but no can do! They probably don't want to pay the stop payment fee.

    In my opinion the employer should issue another check and stop payment on the one that was mailed previously. Obviously something is amiss here. Are you sure they even mailed it?

    I would request they put a stop payment on the check and issue a new one to you. Can they send it to your office instead of your home to ensure it gets to you? Don't know if you live close enough to pick it up in person, but that may an option?

    tell them to cancel the cheque and issue a new one on the spot so you can take it straight to the bank safley. that way if the other cheque is lost and you do recieve it eventually you wont be able to cash it and you will already be paid.
