if you choose to not have direct deposit, how do you get paid?

DD is awesome! But if you have an ex-wife you need 2 accounts... One for normal DD and one for DSDD (double secret direct deposit).

 

Exactly. Not to mention the day before a holiday, too.

 

Direct Deposit simply means the payroll is put into an account you designate. Doesn't have to be a standard checking account. It can be a Visa account or any number of other accounts. However, find out what kind of fees are charged. Large banks, such as BofA, Wells Fargo or IB&T will normally waive monthly fees if you have direct deposit. With a debit card linked to that account, you have access to your money, fee free, almost anywhere. You can get cash back when you purchase from most vendors, no fee.
You can pay any bills you might have on line if you choose, again...no fee.
I can't imagine any valid reason someone would not want a direct deposit account, unless you're dodging creditors, the tax man or someone seeking money from a judgment.
Then money on your T-Check or Comdata card is probably best. But there are lot's of fees associated with that and most drivers can't afford to give up hundreds of dollars per month just to get their pay.
