I have always done a paper check because my employer charges a $1.75 fee per month for direct deposit. They recently told me that to “encourage direct deposit use” they are ALSO going to start charging $3.50/mo for paper checks. Currently asking my state labor law board if this is legal but pretty sure it is not. I'm pissed beyond belief. It's such a minor amount that no one has ever complained but it's the friggin principle of the thing.
