- ceejayoz 5y agoThe same is true in the US, for the most part, we just still call them "paychecks" even if they're directly deposited.
- Amezarak 5y agoThis is probably facetious, but in America, "paycheck" is a colloquialism for your regular payments from your employer regardless of how they are delivered. Virtually every white-collar worker is receiving payments from their employer via a direct deposit into their bank account, not a physical check. According to this [1] fewer than 7% of employees in the US still receive paper paychecks. My first job was paid by check, and I know some people that still take them, mostly people that can't keep a bank account (perpetual overdrafters etc.) [1] https://www.nacha.org/sites/default/files/2020-02/Direct%20Deposit%20vs%20Paycheck%20FINAL.pdf https://www.nacha.org/sites/default/files/2020-02/Direct%20D...
