Where I live, the employer needs to get permission to pay you electronically, and they can pay by cash, cheque, or direct deposit.
If you don’t consent to electronic means, they are likely going to pay you by cheque. You don’t need an account to cash cheques, it is just much more of a burden.
That is part of the burden I previously mentioned. If you are being paid by anything other than cash, it is less expensive to just have a bank account.
Some credit unions will allow you to cash cheques issued from their accounts in person without a fee, some institutions will cash their own cheques with a fee, and your final option is the predatory loan places.
The “freedom” convey blocked ottawa streets and shut down businesses for a month, over vaccines. at that stage it was an illegal protest and to force compliance the government froze assets of the major organizers.
While it is a scary overreach, the protesters were disrupting residents that lived there with constant honking in the night, the blocking of streets limited emergency workers. They seemed to think they could just do what they wanted, but peaceful protest is impeding traffic temporarily then letting traffic through, the “freedom” people trod over everyone elses freedoms and damaged the economy of that region for a month.
If you’re going to launch an insurrection against the government don’t be surprised if it retaliates. Would you say it’s scary that the government does the same thing for terrorists?
It’s worth stating that one of their requirements was for the recently formed government to step down and put their chosen leaders from the “stolen election” in power.
Insurrection, let’s call it what it was, saying you want to hang politicians is vastly different from a simple protest, so is using what is considered torture tactics on the local population.
If people had free access to their own money, then there would be too many protests.
You are not required to put money into an account with a financial institution, but it does make basically everything in life easier if you do.
Can you require your workplace to pay you in cash or something?
That will depend on the laws where you live.

Fees on cashing checks?

For those of you who don’t get it, I am referring to the habit the Canadian government has of freezing the bank accounts of protestors.
I’m not familiar with this, I would love to see counter arguments instead of silent down votes.

Oh wow, yeah that’s not that simple. Although using the banks as a tool in that is honestly pretty scary.
