Florida Direct Deposit Laws Explained
Florida direct deposit laws aren’t specific. However, Florida statutes do address payment instrument laws and payday frequency laws for government employees.
Employers must comply with Florida’s direct deposit law. Otherwise, they can face employment law violations.
Florida Statutes
Florida statutes establish Florida direct deposit laws. FL Stat. Sec 532.04 ascribes how you have to pay employees lawfully. This statute mandates the following elements:
- Payment by check, draft, or another payment form
- Payment by another device
- Payment by direct deposit of funds
Another statute, FL Stat. Sec 110.113 sets pay periods for state officers, which are different from other salary and hourly employees.
They receive salaries each month, while public employees don’t have these same protections. Florida employment lawyers can help your company achieve compliance with Florida labor laws .
Employer Requirements for Direct Deposit
Employer requirements for direct deposits are relatively easy to navigate. Florida direct deposit laws follow three general concepts:
- You can’t fire employees for refusing direct deposit
- Employees can’t be charged to receive their paychecks
- Florida employers must provide direct access to pay stubs
However, specific industries and businesses may follow other statutes. Ensure that you’re in compliance with your company.
Florida Payday Laws
Florida payday laws don’t assign a specific time period regarding frequency unless referring to state officers and employees. Instead, employees must follow the rules of the employer’s policy or employment agreement.
However, once the employer agrees to specific intervals, then they must stick to that agreement. Otherwise, they may face unpaid wages or bad faith claims from aggrieved employees.
Florida Paycheck Laws & Payroll Laws
Florida check laws & payroll laws require employers to provide employees with pay stubs that show their earnings and deductions. The time for paycheck payments depends upon the employment agreement.
If you’re dealing with an unpaid paycheck or former employees alleging Florida paycheck laws & payroll laws violations, speak with Florida labor lawyers as soon as possible.
Direct Deposit for Employees
Direct deposits for employees are permissible in Florida. However, employers must receive the employee’s written permission to do so. It’s illegal to fire an employee for not authorizing direct deposit wage payments or salary payments.
Debit and pay cards are on the rise in Florida. You can’t require an employee to use direct deposit through pay cards. Other valid forms of payment include cash and paper checks.
