Forced direct deposit

[Tyna1699]

How can I opt out of the direct deposit card that was given to me by my employer?
I have my own bank account but they will not deposit my pay there.
I just want to receive a paper check so I can choose where it goes!!

Make it easy, take the card, then transfer to your bank.
Take card to bank, instruct teller to transfer $500 from debit card to your check account.
Get paid, before you get labelled as a trouble maker.

This is the law in Illinois: Illinois - Covered Employers: All Private Employers and local governments but not state and federal governments- 820 ILCS 115/4 and Ill. Admin. Code §56-300.600.
Employers must pay all wages in U.S. currency, by check, or (subject to restrictions) by direct deposit of funds into a bank or other financial institution. Direct Deposit is permitted, but employers may not require it. Employees who authorize direct deposit designate financial institutions for deposit. Employers may not designate a particular financial institution for exclusive payment of wages.
