Most haven't. Banks advertise it because they would like it that way. Last
time I had it was 19 years ago, in the army. Only reason then was to avoid
the 75 man line.

It may be a foolish assumption on my behalf but it seemed to me that
most places have gone to direct deposit. All the banks advertise it and
it saves time and money. Who would not want it?

Been many years since I have had to deposit a regular paycheck.

It may vary by state but here, they have to give yu a paycheck if you

it. They can not force direct deposit. In the 30 years I have been
working,
I have worked for about 18 diferent companies, including the government,
and deal with a lot more. Less than 10% of them offer direct deposit
and, of
the ones that do, none try to make it mandatory. When you make an all
inclusive statement, you need to consider more than your own little
piece of
the world.

BTW, in the US direct deposit is becoming the normal way
to be paid


My last job gave two options direct deposit, or look for a new job.
Social Security along with most pensions and large corporations are
converting to direct deposit to cut costs and to try to eliminate lost
checks. If it hasn't got to you yet you work for a small company or
they haven't outsourced their payroll department yet.
