NO

U.S. Department of Labor Interpretation

One potential complicating factor is the U.S. Department of Labor's position regarding direct deposit found in Section 30c00 of its Field Operations Handbook:

Section 30c Payment of Wages

30c00 Method of Payment

The payment of wages through direct deposit into an employee's bank account is an acceptable method of payment, provided employees have the option of receiving payment by cash or check directly from the employer. As an alternative, the employer may make arrangements for employees to cash a check drawn against the employer's payroll deposit account, if it is at a place convenient to their employment and without charge to them. (Field Operations Handbook, 12/9/88)

Colorado Department of Labor & Employment

Methods of Payment

Colorado employers may pay their employees with checks (or other instruments payable upon demand), cash, paycards, or by direct deposit into the employee's account at a financial institution.

Direct deposits can only be made if the employee has voluntarily authorized the deposit and has chosen the financial institution into which the deposit is made.

Can you receive termination pay and severance pay?

The payment of the employee's final wages is different from severance pay. Final wages are mandated by law to be paid -- an employee who is discharged must be paid all of his or her wages, including accrued vacation, immediately at the time of termination. On the other hand, severance pay is a special form of compensation from the employer. There is no law requiring an employer to offer or provide such. So in case of termination, the employee may receive both his final wages as well as a severance pay package (if provided by the employer).
