Cash in hand?
Can you choose how you're paid?

| Automatic deposit into your bank account. The only way you get paid cash in hand is from private students or under the table work. |

| Typically employers pay directly to your bank account. Some require you to open an account at a specific bank, some don't. |

Some want to avoid bank transfer fees by having all accounts at the same branch and I have had employers make me pay the fees if I used a different branch (i.e. they would deduct it off your salary before they pay you)
YOu may end up getting an account at a distant far off branch.
PS Checks are not used in Japan. Direct credit for most language schools. |

Sorry Gordon, at least around here that's not quite true. Cash is perfectly acceptable in many companies and even the government , if you don't have a bank account to which they can deposit directly. I work for the city even and the BoE pays some staff cash.
Now having said that, chances are that there will be a LOT of pressure on you to open a bank account as soon as possible so they don't have to pay you cash... But I know a number of people who have refused no matter how hard they were pushed to open an account...  But that's not necessarily good advice either. |
