I'd rather get paid in gold ingots, but they didn't like that suggestion when I made it.

BUT IN REALITY, he can debit your account for the full amount of your check for any reason he chooses.

If your employer pays you with a check, he can stop payment on it for any reason he chooses, too.

So, I guess I'm missing your point.

What if you work for the bank like I do?

Look,
For me,
It was one of two choices,

a. Auto-deposit.
b. Routinely look my purse and find my payroll check fom 10 days earlier that I had forgotten to deposit. AFTER I'd written and mailed my bills.

It's a no-brainer for folks like me!

That also applies in this case:

BUT IN REALITY, (your wife) can debit your account for the full amount of your check for any reason (she) chooses.

And then I still wouldn't sign up for it unless they cannot debit your account for ANY reason.

Nobody is going to agree to this, so if you can't live with that, you're pretty much going to have to do without direct deposit.

Hell, everybody has access to my account. I have direct deposit but I've worked there for 27 years so I **sort of** trust them.

I've had automatic direct deposit with all but one employer in my life, without incident. However, regarding the one employer who paid by check, I have had a paycheck returned for insufficient funds.

Dunno, I've used direct deposit for over 30 years and never had a problem. I had to correct payments on two occassions, when I got paid for deployments after I had returned (I initiated action in both cases) and both times they just took it out of the next paycheck.

Methinks you are being a teeny bit paranoid. Perhaps you have seen this happen to someone, and that makes you wary. I understand that.

But for what it's worth, in all my years in banking, I never ever saw this happen.
