Plastic Paycheck
During class, Professor Powley mentioned a potential problem with using plastic paychecks: Employees may feel like they are forced to have a bank account. However, I feel that this is not a big issue. As time passes and technology improves, we have to adapt to the changes which come. Computers and the internet are some great examples of those changes. Several years ago, few people neither owned computers nor knew how to use one. Some time later, people started to realize how useful and convenient computers and the internet are, and gradually those two items became a part of our daily life. Students are asked to check their e-mail everyday whether they like working with a computer or not. Employees are asked to use computers to enter information and check e-mail to find any information sent by the company. Eventually, computers became something that everyone is indirectly forced to use. I believe that plastic paychecks make up a system which is as influential as computers. However, I also think that when a company is trying to implement this system, they need to give time for their employees to adjust to the changes. This adjustment can be having both normal and plastic paychecks for a period of time before changing the entire paycheck system. This will help employees to gradually get used to the new system just like providing computers for the students to check their e-mail before asking them to get computer of their own.
