As long as the checks are good, there is nothing preventing him from paying you in that manner. However, he must show the withholding taxes he takes every payday, the FICA (Social Security Tax) and the medicare tax he withholds from your check.

Make sure he is withholding taxes. But as long as his checks are good and he is following the law on tax withholding, I know of nothing which prevents him from paying you with a personal check.
