通貨

English translation: currency

Law/Patents - Law (general)
Japanese term or phrase: 通貨
In the context of:
翌月２５日に通貨をもって支給する。

I know the meaning is literally "currency", but in this context does it refer to payment in cash, or something else entirely?

English translation:currency
Explanation:
Looking at other examples of the same usage, this appears to mean simply 'payment in currency' as opposed presumably to payment in shares or some other means.

For an example of 'payment in currency' in English, see section 1010.330 (b) (4) of the reference below.

'Currency' is also defined as 'The coin and currency of the United States or of any other country, which circulate in and are customarily used and accepted as money in the country in which issued'.

The following reference is perhaps more relevant as it refers to 'payment in currency' with relation to salary payments, as in the quote provided by the asker.

See section 4 FAH-3 H-555.1 a

'When payments are not possible by means of EFT, salaries must be paid in U.S. Treasury dollar checks. Payment in currency is not permitted.'

Explanation:
通貨をもって支給 means "payment in cash / money" as opposed to "payment in-kind".

"Payment in-kind" means the use of a good or service as payment, instead of cash. See the link:
