Is it permissible for an employee to provide the company's financial department with the ID numbers of workers to open current accounts in a usurious bank for receiving salaries, especially since salaries are deposited before the pay date and cannot be withdrawn until after it, and employees may leave part or all of their salary in the account, and they do not care about withdrawing it from an Islamic bank, and all of this is obligatory?

There is no harm in opening bank accounts to receive salaries if the employer mandates it, because the employee cannot receive his salary except by this method, and thus he is considered to be in a state of necessity. There is no objection to dealing with an entity that compels its employees to do so, because the means take the rulings of their ends.
