    Ferro_Giconi 23 hr. ago ⚫ edited 23 hr. ago OwO That sounds like they are just making up excuses to be lazy and not set up direct deposit. Which is odd, because as far as I'm aware, direct deposit is less effort for the employer than a paper check. It's not like they can't deduct an amount from a direct deposit payment like they can from a check. 1.7k Reply Share

    LiosIsHere 22 hr. ago Might I suggest joining the rest of the world in the year 2024 and just electronically transfering the money from one account to the other? To be honest, we already did that when I started working 20 years ago, and I don't know how long before that.
