Yes they can for several reasons. If you don't have an account with them can plus they can charge you a fee if they do. If there is something that looks wrong with the check they can refuse. Sometimes checks are stolen and if the check you have is from that company they can refuse. If the account is closed they can refuse.

Do you have to cash your check from your job at the bank?

I guess Yes. Banks are the only place you can cash a check. Since it is your paycheck from the job, the check will be from a bank account of your employer. So to cash it you either need to visit a bank that you have an account or visit the bank that issued the check to get the cash from the check.
