    Default Employer Forcing Employees to Use Their Bank, in Georgia

    My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: Georgia

    My employer recently changed our payroll system to a bank sponsored system. Now my employer is no longer cutting checks, but having them directly deposited into individual employee accounts at their bank. They have told me that I will receive a debit card which is linked to an account created on my behalf into which they deposit my check after each pay period. Are they legally able to chose which bank my check gets deposited into? Can they even legally open a bank account on my behalf? All of my bills are automatically withdrawn from my bank. I have not been living paycheck to paycheck so having them all withdrawn at the same time has not been a problem until now. I have to go to the new bank, withdraw all of my paycheck and then deposit it into my bank account. Is this legal? What should I do? How should I proceed?

    -Thanks.

    Interesting! It sounds slightly questionable, yes.

    In my state there is a law I know of that an employer can NOT force an employee to patronize or not patronize a certain business (s)? Something to that effect?

    You might consult an attorney if you can't attempt to find it in GA law online, which is hard to find anything, I've tried. A personal visit to a library where they have the GA code may be better to try.

    Same thing happens in Florida.

    Did you ask them to have it DD'd to your bank instead of theirs?
