Your employees should sue you for creating a hostile work environment.

As much as I'd like to agree with you, not everyone on Welfare is irresponsible. There are a lot of needy families who, through not fault of their own are needy. Welfare is a general term for government assistance.

Since this is such an obvious invasion of privacy, I'll have to vote against it. This isn't China (yet)

On the other hand, if you want to force every man who doesn't pay child support to get a vasectomy, that's something I might stop to consider.

Is there also a penalty for early withdrawal?

Yup the bank is losing out and they may not let you deposit again. It is a two way street that should be profitable to each. To break the agreement is selfish

In that case it is not a direct deposit as each person has nothing to deposit

Oh yeah, China is a model for employer/employee relations. Nice to know how low you are willing to go. I'm sure you would prefer that U.S. business owners be able to treat their employees as if they work in a fiefdom, but it's not the case. Unfortunately you don't seem to know this. Your employees have their jobs at a high price, in spite of what you pay them or their thankfulness for having a job, which you seem more than happy to exploit.

I know it sounds extreme here but it's not a horrible idea. In Florida, when you have a baby and are on Medicaid they require you to get a prescription for birth control (pills, shot or whatever you chose) before you leave the hospital. If you refuse, you risk losing your benefits. They can't make them take it but you would think the threat of losing benefits would be enough to make people take it on their own.

Don't you just love the argument, "Not every blah blah does bleet bleet. There are some who don't."
