Three questions:

Under Wisconsin state law, is it permisable mandate your staff to have a direct deposit of their paycheck vs a paper check?

Is it permisable to charge them for a paper check if they refuse direct deposit?

If an amployer can madate direct deposit of payroll, can they also madate the bank the employees pay is deposited into?

The only thing I found under Wisconsin State Law regarding payroll is that employees must be paid at least monthly, unless they specifically request to be paid less frequently. Like a teacher wanting a lump sum at the end of the term.

I believe the bank can choose to pay the employee any way they want, so long as all employees are subject to the same rules. I would think, if the employee does not have an account at the bank, that one would be opened free of charge for them to receive their wages.

I would think you could charge for a paper check to be cut. Cutting and handling a check is extra work. I mean, if we can charge a loan customer a higher rate if they don't sign up for auto transfer, I would think you could charge for handling a separate check, when most of the other payroll is direct deposited.
