A person is guilty of theft of labor already rendered when, in payment of labor
already rendered by another, he intentionally issues or passes a check or
similar sight order for the payment of money, knowing that it will not be
honored by the drawee.
For purposes of subsection (1) of this section, an issuer of a check or similar
sight order for the payment of money is presumed to know that the check or
order, other than a postdated check or order, would not be paid, if:
(a) The issuer had no account with the drawee at the time the check or order
was issued; or
(b) Payment was refused by the drawee for lack of funds, upon presentation
within thirty days (30) after issue, and the issuer failed to make good
within ten (10) days after receiving notice of that refusal.
Theft of labor already rendered is a Class A misdemeanor unless the value of
the labor rendered is:
(a) Five hundred dollars ($500) or more but less than ten thousand dollars
($10,000), in which case it is a Class D felony; or
(b) Ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or more, in which case it is a Class C
felony.
