It is not uncommon in large companies to require an annual "payout", in which
each employee picks up their paycheck in person, displaying ID. I think this
is to guard against payroll padding.
At the facility where I'm doing a project, all 1,500 employees received a memo
ordering them to report to the cafeteria for their annual "peyote". Peyote
appeared several times in the memo, and even in the title line! Eventually
one of my colleagues ran "payout" through the spelling checker, and sure
enough it suggested "peyote" as the alternative.
Perhaps the spelling checker writers are junior staff with closer ties to their
college counter-cultural days than to corporate terminology...
