I saw an obviously distressed/very low income guy sitting on the sidewalk in Manhattan last week with a sign that said he had worked for two weeks with uber eats but they didn't tell him they will only do direct deposit not a cheque and he needed help because he doesn't have a bank account.

I'm pretty sure that the law in the US and NY says that if someone has done work for you, you need to give them the wages they've earned, and whether or not they have a bank account is irrelevant. Not paying someone for work they've done is wage theft, which is a crime.
