Is an employee who limits his work to transferring employee salaries from the company's account in a usurious bank to their accounts in other banks sinful?

If the current accounts for workers in usurious banks do not yield usurious interest, then there is no harm in that. However, if the employees' accounts do yield usurious interest, it is not permissible to deposit wages into them, because that is considered a usurious transaction. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed the one who consumes usury, the one who feeds it, its two witnesses, and its scribe. So, whoever can distinguish current accounts that do not yield interest, then he may work. Otherwise, it is not permissible to work in a place where employees' money is deposited in usurious accounts.
