Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'cheque de nómina' is the standard term used in formal contexts. Common variants may include 'cheque de salario' or 'pago de nómina', but these should be avoided in clinical settings to maintain professionalism. It is important to ensure clarity when discussing payment methods to prevent confusion.
