In MI, employers can require their employees to accept either direct deposit or to receive their pay on a payroll debit card if they provide their employees with:
A written notice that allows the employee the option of receiving wages through direct deposit or a payroll debit card;
A statement indicating that employees who fail to return the notice, etc. within 30 days will be presumed to consent to receive pay via a payroll debit card; and
Written disclosure of information concerning a payroll debit card (i.e. the terms and conditions of use, including itemization of all fees, etc.).
