My husband still gets a weekly paycheck. He tried around 9 months ago to get the company to start direct depositing when I was particularly ill and wasn’t able to make the drive some weeks to physically drive to the bank to deposit, but it was a no go. Keep in mind his uncle owns the company, so it’s not a mega corporation, but still a multi million dollar company. It’s like they are stuck in the 1980’s and refuse to budge ! lol.
I would think direct deposit would be simple, or am I wrong? They claimed it was just too complicated and as my husband had asked many of the other employees what they thought of it, and they were ALL for it, I can’t understand why it’s so complicated to them.
Actually for us, thankfully we don’t actually live paycheck to paycheck, we could go feasibly a month ( for some reason, they date their paychecks where they must be cashed within 30 days) but my son also works there, and unfortunately he hasn’t listened to his parents yet. He tends to live paycheck to paycheck and I do have to deposit his paycheck too , since they work out of town quite a bit . It’s a construction company.
Is it really that hard for a company to set up direct deposit? I ask because I honestly have no idea, but everyone I know gets paid by direct deposit, and they simply handle things online, transfers, getting cash out by atm, etc… just curious… TIA for any answers on this, I’ve been wondering…
I’m really concerned because I think I’ve posted before if not more than once, I have kidney disease with a really not so great outlook so I worry about they day that I won’t be able to do this for them, and here they are trying to work.They must work, someone’s gotta with such a costly disease
… I have no idea then what’s going to happen. At that time, it was really rough. I was going through a really bad period but I know it’s going to come up again soon. That’s just being realistic. I wish I could think of a great talking point for getting them on board … but alas, I don’t own the company … 
In answer to general question, the other thing is, a lot of people I know get paid twice a month or monthly, so it’s very rare except for lower paying jobs around here to get paid weekly I think… Just my observation…
