Do you work for that bank? If not that's what I would consider an unreasonable request and not the kind of place I'd like to work for. I'm really not sure about the legal specifics, especially in Canada (BMO is Bank of Montreal, correct?), but it sounds sketchy, it would be one thing to say that they won't give you direct deposit unless you use BMO due to some deal they have, but to not pay you at all doesn't sound right. |
