Post Dated Checks

Wondering if anyone would care to share their post-dated check policy.
Here is my problem:
We have a customer that pays their employees with paper check, and does so, continually, a day earlier than when the checks are dated. These employees (non-customers) then come to one of our branches to try and negotiate the checks. We, in the past, have not negotiated these checks.
We have spoken to the customer SEVERAL TIMES about this issue. a) do not pay your employees early b) if you do pay your employees early, make it CLEAR they cannot negotiate the check until the following day. Sounds fine and dandy, in a perfect world.
Yet, every other week, we have their employees coming in a day early to cash them. There has NEVER been an issue with the funds on these checks. HOWEVER, most of their employees rely on rides or public transportation. We do not have many branches; certainly not a branch anywhere near where this business is located, so in some cases, you might have someone that has been on a bus (or multiple buses) for over an hour, only to come to the bank to be told "come back tomorrow". As you can imagine, this is not a comfortable situation for our staff.

This is a BIG customer of ours, and the officer treats them with kid gloves simply direct each of those clients to the account officer when they arrive to cash their post dated check on the next pay cycle, load his/her office up with these people as they come to cash them, and let the account officer explain why/why not the bank will/won't honor the check that day. i guarantee it will be resolved that day for all eternity. Video of that would be great, too!
