paycheque

Compensation you deposit

A paycheque is the document or payment received for work performed, typically issued by an employer at regular intervals.

The spelling is standard in British and Canadian English.

I deposit my paycheque every Friday.

Beyond the literal payment, paycheque often represents employment itself: living paycheque to paycheque means spending each payment before the next arrives.
