You are in a contract of employment and non payment of your salary places your employer in Breach of contract. You have the right to go to an Employment Tribunal to get your money. You can reclaim money you've lost (including the extra losses caused by you not receiving the money on time, for example, bank charges) by making a breach of contract claim.
You could also tell your boss that it is your right to petition Court to place the business into receivership for not paying their debt to you.
Good luck
Spoke to my sister in law (the solicitor) about this yesterday and she said that by giving you a cheque, knowing full well that there is no money in their account to honour the said cheque, can be construde as a form of fraud and she went on to say very much what both Malcolm and John have said - one to speak to your bank when depositing the cheque and secondly to take action against the said company should no monies be forthcoming. If you have not received your money, then there must be others who are also owed money - so that at the end of the day you have to ensure that you do have some form of 'claim' in for your money.
Always enjoy life - and remember there is always someone worse off than yourself - treat others as you yourself would want to be treated.
