My company currently has 140+ employees and paychecks are distributed every Friday afternoon by our receptionist.

The paychecks are given to the receptionist at 2:00 pm and employees are allowed to come pick up their paychecks after that time. The receptionist keeps a list of each employee that will receive a paycheck and marks their name off the list when the employee receives his or her check.

This causes many employees to congregate in our lobby at once which is distracting and noisy. We need a solution that will aleviate this problem without allowing the paychecks to pass through too many hands.

My idea is to give each department manager their subordinate employees' checks on Friday to be distributed by the department manager but this may cause the paychecks to pass through too many hands, which is what I am trying to avoid.

Any suggestions?

We offer direct deposit but many employees do not have bank accounts or are not interested. We would still have to distribute pay stubs.
