I hate the Direct Deposit system.

A few weeks ago, I changed banks. The payroll officer advises me that I will be receiving a check this week rather than direct deposit, which is fine. It's that I finish on Fridays at 12pm and they don't get the checks until about 1pm so I'm ending up working past my regular hours just to get that check, since I don't want to leave work without the check in hand.

I used to have direct deposit and it was supposed to show up sometime after midnight on Thursday. After a few bounced checks I found out sometimes it wouldn't go in till Monday or Tuesday Payroll dept. said it's not their fault, bank the checks drawn from says it's not their fault and my bank says it's not their fault I'll never get direct deposit again.

cal its not their fault so they are telling you its your fault ! LOL

banks tellers keep pushing direct deposit and their jobs right out the window . Im the only one in my building that gets a check everyone else ( 320 ) got direct deposit . so payroll keeps asking why I dont ? I want a real check so that when I go to get cash I know Im getting what I expect not a bounced check .

I've had direct deposit thru ADP for as long as I can remember, from 2 different employers. Not a single screw-up in all that time on ADP's end.

CAL, my guess would be it's your payroll dept's fault.

Mine is always on time except when payroll dept goofs. Direct deposit cuts the "withhold til after noon" game out too. I work on commission, if there's no work I go fishing. Making me wait for a paycheck just kills my "team" spirit. Yeah,yeah there's no "I "in team, but there's an "m" and an "e"

I've always had direct deposit, and I've never had a problem until recently when switching banks... and I had to wait til after 1pm on Friday before getting my damn check and I ran to the bank to cash and deposit it so I can run and get me the gifts for my wife.

And I never write checks out for money I don't have IN my account ALREADY. That's a rule I follow, since I absolutely *HATE* bounced checks and seeing a $25 dollar fee for a damn check that didn't go through.

The bounced check penalty makes me go airbourne! If I don't have it then I just don't have it. I won't gamble on deposit timing either.
