fake Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I don't have a bank account. Don't want one either Same here as I refuse to have a bank account and use cash. As for the right to have wages paid in cash then that is down to the employers and employees to work out. A lot of casual labour is still paid in cash.

Supertramp Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Money in a savings account now will halve in value in 15 years. I spend my money. If everyone did the same, instead of hoarding it, things would be much better. So how did you save up to buy a house? or a car? How do you save for a rainy day if you find yourself out of work?

alchresearch Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Paying in cash means a security headache. I recall those days when the security van would turn up with the wages. The factory was locked down until it left and people were restricted from given areas for the day. I remember those days too. Then the thieves realised it was easier to target the factory and wages office (staffed by women) after the security van had gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Many part time and agency workers are paid weekly. OK. What I meant was 'Few, if any, permanent full-time employees are paid weekly nowadays in the UK.' Happy now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I'm still not thats totally accurate either. White colar desk jobs 99.9 everyone else varies hugely dependent on which sector, and how big the company is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 How about a compromise? In the same way utility companies offer a discount to encourage people to pay by Direct Debit, employers could be obliged to pay in cash but offer a 'bonus' to those being paid electronically, to reflect the reduced costs. Or we could just leave things as they are. People who don't want to use banks can open a Credit Union account and have their wages paid into that.

AJ sheffield Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Another moronic thread. Paying in cash means a security headache. I recall those days when the security van would turn up with the wages. The factory was locked down until it left and people were restricted from given areas for the day. It was a time when payroll trucks were being attacked and a couple of people lost their wages as they walked home pretty much every week. Why would anyone be stupid enough to want their wages in cash? And yet there you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
