Is your job doing this through a certain bank? Because the bank the cards are issued through do not charge you to use their ATMs it's only when you useother ATMs that you are charged. The .50 is usually a hassle but I have only seen that applied when you don't make the required minimum purchase fromwherever you're buying from.

i wish it was a certain bank i think the company is called comdata or something like that and those 50 cents are charged every time you use it no matter howmuch the amount is

Really? Typically it's the small businesses that pay their employees in this manner. Larger places usually keep direct deposit as an option. weird

That's so stupid for the people who have bank accounts. I'd be pissed, all of my banking and bill paying is done online and in some casesautomatically. Messing with a debit card not through my bank would be such a hassle.

 

[elocin023]

I have never heard of this. And it doesn't make any sense.

 

[mob 650]

everyone at work is pissed off it was perfectly fine before now i gotta take all my money out the ATM and deposit it to my bank FML! oh and to add we got paidevery Friday now they changed it to every 2 weeks lol

You should just use the card to pay bills. I mean pay your friends bills with your card and get the cash. I'm sure you kow a few people that can give youcash .

I remember reading about companies doing this to cut down on the cost of payroll checks. They should still have the direct deposit option but yet another signof this recession

 

[lets get it 1231]

wow i thought only temp jobs do this

If they put the money on the card, they don't have to pay out the money until you spend it. For example:

Before: you get a check of 200, they gotta pay that money straight out, 200 comes out of their pocket
After: you get 200, they tell comdata or whatever card company to set the limit on the card to 200, but you only spend 20 in a month, at the end of the month,they only give 20 to comdata.

Regardless, there's gotta be another way. You can't save money that's on a debit card and you can't pay rent that's on a debit card,especially with all those fees.

my job is doing this too but we are able to get direct deposit. I wonder why you don't have that option. Or do you??
