Direct Deposit (Local Option) which description is correct?

The concept being tested is that a municipality can offer direct deposit as a payroll option under a local option, but participation depends on the employee’s authorization. The best description is that the municipality may adopt a provision to permit payroll payments by direct deposit to a bank chosen and authorized by the employee. This means the employee selects their bank and provides authorization for the deposit, while the municipality implements the policy to pay by direct deposit when requested. It’s not mandatory for all employees, it doesn’t require state approval to implement under local option, and it isn’t limited to retirees.
