DEFINATELY! I had a dishwasher that was hardwired once. I had to add a new receptacle and install a pig-tail so there is a disconnect in case there is any need to work on it.
The same guy who installed it in also laid the waist line from the dishwasher on the bottom of the cabinet. It should be higher than the bottom of the sink; otherwise if there is a sink back-up, you get waste water in the dishwasher.
Personally, unless you need a dishwasher (ie have lots of children) I don't recommend one. Too many things to go wrong.

NEC requires a 20-ampere circuit for the dishwasher, so a 12/2 with ground is required. you will also need a local disconnect; generally, a duplex receptacle is placed in the space under the sink to serve the dishwasher and disposal unit.the disposal is usually on a switch adjacent to the sink with the power wire to the dishwasher circuit going to the switch first, then a piece of 12/3 with ground going to the receptacle. at the receptacle, the small piece of metal between the screws on the hot side of the receptacle twisted off to separate the two receptacles, allowing the switch to operate the disposal and the dishwasher side to remain energized continuously.
