Am I required to give employer my bank account info?
I did a one-time gig for a company, and the company insists that I send them my direct deposit information for payment, including an authorization to make deductions from my account in the case of error.
This seems excessive to me, since I don't intend to do any more work for them, and I don't want to just hand out my bank info to every person or company I do a gig for. (I do a lot of gigs.)
What, if anything, would require me to comply with their request? Can I just demand a check? They have been insistent that I do it their way.

Main thing they have on you is getting paid. Seems like they are kind of set in their ways. I suppose maybe they could do a reversal if they don’t like your work.
As a gig job this raises flags for me though. If you are still in the negating phase this seems like a pass to me.
