Only one salary paid through cheque

Hi, I'm on Tier 1 General and going to apply for ILR soon.

I was going through my payslips and bank statements and I realized that for one month out of twelve, I was paid by a cheque. All the other 11 salaries have been paid to me by direct bank transfers. For 11 salaries, the narration that goes in my bank statement is 'Wages for the month of ________ from ABC Co. Ltd.'. But for the one month when I was paid by cheque, the narration is 'Receipt'. Please note that the Net Salary amount on my wage slip for this particular month and the amount credited into the bank (and showing on my bank statement) is the same i.e. £1,775.

What would you guys say on this? Is it alright? Or do you think that I should get a letter from my employer saying that for this particular month, I was paid by cheque? Or do you think there's no need for such a letter and the wage slip along with bank statement should suffice?

I don't have a copy of the cheque that was deposited in the bank, but I do have a receipt from bank that says that a cheque of £1,775 was deposited in the account on such and such date.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Get a letter from employer confirming this. Ask the employer to explain why it was deposited by cheque. You should be fine if you have employer letter.
