Betty3 is correct. I personally went to the labor commissioner's office to check on this one. I had an employee who would move, and then not get his paper check - THREE TIMES in three months. I was not even allowed to charge him the stop payment fees on the checks - even though it was his fault for not giving us enough notice of the address change before checks were issued.
If you refuse to get direct deposit they always have the option of paying you in cash instead of a paper check.
