Employers in some states may require employees to use direct deposit (or paycards). However, the employee must be allowed to choose the bank or other financial institution where the deposit will be made. However, in other states, ordering direct deposit (or the use of paycards) is prohibited, that is without the written permission of the employee. In FL, appears that direct deposit cannot be mandated which means that an employee must agree to it. To be cetain of your rights you can contact your state's department of labor or place a call in to a local employment law attorney.
