Only a handful of states allow employers to mandate direct deposit. These states require that an employer have consent from the employee to deposit the check electronically, and often that consent must be in writing. I would recommend that you check…

We give every applicant a personality profile test - though it is not required. We find that it really assists us in determining whether applicants will be a good fit for a certain job, and whether they would be happy. We don't place an enormous amo…
