I don’t know about the most preferred method, but I get paid by direct deposit, and it’s great. Getting paid by check wouldn’t work for me because I am rarely at home, and plus, your checks could get lost or stolen.
I did QuickPay for a couple of months when I started. I got scared when I saw my bank balance lower. I hate borrowing money. I try to pay everything cash whenever possible, or pay it as quickly as possible. It saves a lot of money in the long run. QuickPay and factoring can cost at least 5k a year at 2%. The higher the yearly gross, the more.
