Mandatory Direct Deposit in PA?

[cbg]

I probably understand PA law better than you do, having had employees AND RUN PAYROLL in PA as well as numerous other states.

I don't have to cite a damned thing. You are trying to define apples as oranges.

You or any one else does not need to post anything. I would hope that you understand PA law better than me if you are a regular poster in topics concerning PA law here.

If anyone else can verify that cbd is presenting a legally accurate opinion that direct deposit is not legally a deduction under Pennsylvania law, please do. Or provide a link doing so. The law appears quite clear on some things and this is one of them.

I verify cbg's legally accurate facts.

Direct deposit of wages is NOT a deduction from wages.

Thank you for your statement that you "verify".


I have trouble accepting claims of people on free internet forums without actual facts being presented. Especially when the claims fly in the face of actual cited law.



Some legally accurate facts regarding PA wage law that I have found:
1. The wages shall be paid in lawful money of the United States or check, except deductions.
2. Lawful money is cash.
3. Checks are drafts from a bank payable on demand.
4. Deductions are taken out of wages before the check or lawful money is handed over.
5. The method of handing over the lawful money or check must be by US mail if the employee demands this for his last paycheck.
6. Some deductions, such as payments to savings accounts, are specifically stated in DOL regulations.
7. Deductions such as payments to savings accounts require employee authorization.

I think everyone that is familiar with PA law and the related DOL regulations of deductions can agree with these seven facts.

The only thing I can see in these last few posts is that it is being claimed without support that direct deposit is legally a check as defined in PA wage law. If that is the claim, how is it claimed that payment into a checking account not a deduction, when payment into a savings account or a Christmas account is?

George, it's not like we all don't realize that this is REALLY all about your not wanting direct deposit because it makes it impossible for you to hide your assets from your lienholders, and that what you're doing here is a try-on to distract attention from that and put the legal onus on your employer instead of yourself.

Consider your attempt a failure. You have not been able to convince anyone here that your position is correct. You will be wasting your time to try further.

If you must continue wasting energy on your entirely incorrect and frankly absurd theory, hire a lawyer and waste his time instead of ours. If you're paying him, he has to listen to you. We don't, and we've already put far more time into your theory than it is worth.

...ummmm

I have already stated that that I have no liens.

Why the personal attack rather than stating legally accurate facts?


Part of my "absurd" theory is the legally accurate fact that:

Authorized deductions from wages include:

Deductions authorized in writing by employes for payment into employe personal savings accounts

I was told by posters here that direct deposit is not a deduction without any facts to back up that assertion.

Please somebody show me in a legally accurate way that deposits to checking accounts are not deductions if deposits to savings accounts are according to state regulation. No need for personal attack if you are unable to.

Thank you.
