Payroll processor: We cannot accept your direct deposit information in an email for compliance reasons.
Me: So what do we need?
Payroll processor: You need to send us a report from your accounting program that includes the info.
Me: There is no such report. Can I send you a screenshot of the information?
Payroll processor: If the employees’ names are on the screenshot, that might work.
Me: <Thinks about a) how easy it is to generate a screenshot and b) what stupid regulation we could possibly be complying with by sending payroll info “in a screenshot” but “not in an email.”>
