It's your normal pay period. If your pay cycle b, itll be pay cycle b. If your a, itll be a. Look for the check to come the same way that you regularly get it (i.e. direct deposit, or pay card). If you get a paper check I honestly dont know on that one, I'd assume theyd mail it but call and ask. It is a paid personal leave so it's no different then maternity or paid medical std etc. In regard to payroll. The big thing is if they mess up, you need to be your own advocate. The first day you dont see your check or see an error on it you need to call leave and disability that day. Problems can arise for anyone and if they dont know it's wrong, they wont fix it. Even then it can take weeks to straighten out an error. So. Check it often, and keep a backup plan in case they mess up. I've known several cases where the tm on leave went weeks or months with zero pay because of an error, that was resolved later and back paid but they didnt realize until several checks had passed.
