Hello ****. In Hawaii, employers generally cannot require you to open an account at a specific bank to receive wages. Here are the options:
- Direct deposit into your bank
- Physical check
- Payroll card
If your employer isn't complying, consider contacting Hawaii's Department of Labor and Industrial Relations.
