What is the solution to the problem of an employee who takes 5 dinars from people's salaries in exchange for bringing them to them from the bank, and the bank does not disburse salaries except to employees, so if people refuse to pay, the employee stops bringing them, causing great hardship to the people?

If the questioner is a citizen entitled to a salary, it is permissible for him to pay the five dinars to the head of the municipal branch as a fee for bringing his salary.
However, if he is the official of the municipal branch, and his going to the bank to bring the salaries is not part of his duties, then he has the right to refuse unless he receives a fee.
In light of the bank's decision to disburse salaries only to the heads of municipal branches, and to avoid problems, there is no sin upon the officials of the municipal branches in imposing fees or deductions, provided that the fee is a fair wage that does not deviate from the customary wage.
