Paid via Card, Workers Feel Sting of Fees
A growing number of American workers are confronting a frustrating predicament on payday: to get their wages, they must first pay a fee.
.............
Devonte Yates, 21, who earns $7.25 an hour working a drive-through station at a McDonald’s in Milwaukee, says he spends $40 to $50 a month on fees associated with his JPMorgan Chase payroll card.
“It’s pretty bad,” he said. “There’s a fee for literally everything you do.”
........
For Natalie Gunshannon, 27, another McDonald’s worker, the owners of the franchise that she worked for in Dallas, Pa., she says, refused to deposit her pay directly into her checking account at a local credit union, which lets its customers use its A.T.M.’s free. Instead, Ms. Gunshannon said, she was forced to use a payroll card issued by JPMorgan Chase. She has since quit her job at the drive-through window and is suing the franchise owners.
Low wages for the people that make ALL the money for the company, and now they're charged for that pay.

Good point. Credit unions are very limited. If she had a bank account she would get either direct deposit or electronic transfer. Chase has electronic transfer by phone. But people with credit or banking problems sometimes have to use a credit union. A bank won't take them.

I see you left this line out, which was the very next sentence before you snipped the article verbiage..
Certain transactions with the Chase pay card are free, according to a fee schedule.
I know for a fact they can; withdraw all of their pay in cash, or transfer their pay to a savings/checking account etc. for NO fee......
She could just get a paper paycheck and take it to the bank herself.
I know, how old-school! lol
and this is our concern, why?
gawd save us from all these busy bodies
