On May 5, 2015, Georgia Governor Nathan Deal signed a new law that now expressly permits Georgia employers to pay employees through the use of payroll card accounts. The new law – which is effective immediately – amended O.C.G.A. § 34-7-2. The previous version of that statute only referenced cash, check, and (with the consent of the employee) direct deposit as the permissible methods of payment. The new version of the statute now expressly permits employers to pay employees “by credit to a payroll card account.”
