My employer refuses to use direct deposit and has even suggested charging us for the convenience of not using paper checks if we were to change. We have the option of receiving our paper checks in the mail, but the shipping delay on top of the processing time for depositing a check seems even more inconvenient than driving to the office to pick it up. Should I be paid for my commute to get the money my employer owes me for my labor? Is that not viable because there's technically an alternative in the mailing option? I've been dealing with this for two years and it's frustrating.
