Refers to a totally-legal but still-somewhat-devious practice of writing personal checks for comparatively-minuscule bills --- like maybe just two or three bucks for a bag of fresh vegetables from a roadside farm-stand --- instead of paying them in cash, and then secretly hoping that the checks’ recipients will not want to bother going to the extra effort of cashing said “tiny” checks, and thus your bank-account’s “balance” will be unaffected by your purchases.
Practicing the “system of checks and balances” can have varying degrees of success, depending on various factors, such as how strapped your checks’ recipients are for cash, how accustomed they are to cashing/depositing checks, or how willing/able they are to accept checks, especially for such paltry amounts (here’s where paying with checks at an unattended “drop the money in the slot” or “place the money in the cup/jar” merchandise-stand can be a good idea, since there will be nobody there to balk at your paying with a check). Extra points if you “embellish” the checks with flowery praising messages about how wonderful the sellers’ merchandise/service is, since it may stroke the people’s ego so much that they will prefer to “frame it rather than cash it” (again, especially since the check is for such a small amount, and so its value might likely not mean all that much to the person’s overall budget) when deciding what to do with your checks.

When in the car with a group of friends one calls out, "WINDOW CHECK!" All the car windows are opened to make the car as cold as possible (this only works when it's cold outside). The windows stay open until the driver decides to close them.

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.

"A Janice called, and left her name and number."
"What did she need?"
"She asked if she could grab her paycheck Friday, but I don't ever remember seeing her here before."
"Oh yeah, she worked here for a day and never came back."
"I see, she just wanted her Wonder Check. Glad she stopped me from doing my job to ask about her nickels and pennies."
