As the title says I lost 7 checks from work and didn’t realize they were thrown away until today. Basically the manager who hands out checks wasn’t around during my shifts (I only worked 2 days a week) and then went on vacation so didn’t receive them until later. Then I found out today my bag that had my checks in it was thrown away. I was in no rush since I don’t pay bills and I understand I’m a complete idiot for even making this mistake but this is my first job and I’ve been very careless. And then I got fired yesterday. Now I really have no clue what to do and I’m really freaked out. Is it possible for me to receive the checks at this point?
Edit: wow thank you guys for such quick replies, I’ve really been beating myself up for this, I didn’t know the issue could be resolved so easily. I felt embarrassed even typing this post out lol. My main concern was that me being fired would affect the payroll or something
I lost 7 checks from work, what do I do?

Did you try talking to your boss or payroll department?
HR / payroll issue;
they can cancel and re-issue
Reach out to your manager, HR or payroll department or whoever you can get in contact with.
All you can do is talk to payroll and have the checks reissued. Or do nothing.
Talk to your work. They should void and reissue
I’ve not seen a cheque in forever and who the heck keeps 7 of them and doesn’t cash them? Like did you lose the cheques for the whole team on payday?
They still have to pay you. Reissue or just get them direct deposited
