[ARCHIVED THREAD] - How do you get paid? (POLL) (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 7/22/2014 10:38:15 AM EDT

I'm curious. If you work for an employer, how do you receive your pay? And are there many or just a few options for you and your fellow workers?

My curiosity is based on an article about a not-quite-FSA fast food worker suing McD's for paying her and all the other fry jockeys in debit/payroll cards *loaded* with fees for withdrawals and checking balances, etc. Then I thought back to how it used to be (last century) when the armored car brought cash around to the factory cashier's office on payday, and all the workers filed by to get paid in cash at the end of every week.

Time was, a check was unusual, and most average americans didn't have a bank account other than maybe a savings account.

Pretty much every job except lawn mowing/yard work and man-whoring I've gotten a paycheck for, and from the mid 1980s on, it was usual to have it direct deposited if your employer was large enough to participate in such a program, and DD has later become the norm.

Direct deposit monthly. I'm not sure the university will even cut a paper paycheck anymore. Not that I would want to go that route. Been on dd almost my entire career.

Checks with cash tips. Commission checks for sales and to compensate for mileage when applicable are issued separately from paychecks. Direct deposit is available, but I prefer to get a real check or cash over direct deposit. Sometimes I do odd jobs for people for cash, although sometimes I'm paid with a personal check.

My company pays to a debit card which then about 95% gets direct deposited the next day automatically. I keep about 5% on the card for emergencies or like when some ass hole steals my regular debit card number and i am without a card for 10 days which has happened twice in 4 years. I also get one free meal everyday I work

The poll question did start with "if you work for an employer......"

If you've got an under-the-table gig to supplement the welfare and disability fraud, I'm guessing that'd go under "cash" or "gold and wimminz"

Paper check delivered over night from our other office. Company won't do direct deposit, I guess because is magnets and voodoo or some shit.

Check. The bank the check is written on and my bank have a pissing match going on since they're both local banks and constantly try to steal one another's customers. In doing so they hold up my check clearing for 48 hours, so now I go to one bank cash check and the go deposit cash in my bank.

Link to article? I find it hard to believe the fry jockeys weren't offered a direct deposit option.
