<prompt> Human: I am employed by a bank and was required to open an account with them and have my money direct deposited into said account when I started this job.I just recently opened a new account at a different bank with my wife and am looking to change my direct deposit to that new banking account.I spoke with my HR departmentpayroll today and they denied my request to change the direct deposit and said it was not permitted for me to change the direct deposit to another bank. I asked for any form of documentation of why it was not permitted to change the direct deposit, they said there was not any form of documentation but even that is not a written policy it is instead just a company practice.I dont believe that I can be stuck having my direct deposit only being directed one place, and I dont believe I can be forced if it is just a practice. Is there anything I can do in regards to this or am I actually stuck?  <response>: They are not required to offer direct deposit, so they may not be required to offer direct deposit into any account you want. You should be able to ask for paper checks if you really dont want it deposited in that account though. Some states have laws that require employers to offer a non-direct deposit form of payment.
