If cash is legal tender, how is it that you can be paid in cheques that nobody would cash for free ? Isn't it the government's job to a) Either cash them for free, or b) Require employers to pay in cash if the employee asks for it ?
I find the fee for cashing a cheque, and most other fees in the US banking system, quite ridiculous.
- mosburger 5y agoI think that allowing companies to pay in cash is seen as dangerously close to paying "under the table" and not properly documenting for taxation purposes - governments like a money trail. Not saying that's an unsolvable problem, but I can understand the reluctance.
