Why? They don’t need to, it has NOTHING to do with business administration, and is, frankly a post dated skill. It wasn’t her job to write checks, it was her job to PAY BILLS, which in this modern age SHOULDN’T involve writing checks.
Because the business process of making payments is the same regardless of the medium.
It’s a common thing I am seeing among the younger set - they know how to use a computer-based application, but give them the same exact thing in paper format and they are completely lost.
If one understands the process, one should be able to handle either format. What we’ve got are people who understand one format but not the process.
Many businesses, especially state governed businesses MUST use checks for vendor bill paying. There is no other option.
