Re: direct deposit and pay time
If the alternative is to not be paid, then the employer must give you a paycheck. However, the employer typically can make it a condition of employment under the federal laws for you to have a checking account and to have direct deposit. It may be possible that state law contains some different answer, but that is something that you would have to learn from an attorney with an Arkansas law license.
