What’s a middle of the month paycheck? Are some people getting paid twice a month?
1st and 15th is common. Every Friday is common. Every other Friday is common too.
^ my experience the past 4 decades in the USA.
I’ve never had monthly but that would be dope.
Interesting. Every job I’ve ever had paid biweekly as well. I’m in the USA. Sometimes even enormous hoops were jumped through in order to provide it on that schedule.
Most places in the US pay semi-monthly (twice a month) or bi-weekly (every other week)
Do bills also come twice a month? Like, do you pay your rent, mortgage insurance, internet, tv, cell phone, etc. every two weeks?
Some places pay you twice a month. On the 15th of the month and on the last day of the month. The benefits being that it’s easy to understand, easier on payroll and aligns with most business cycles and for employees is easier to plan your expenses. Cons being that it’s good for salaried employees and bad for hourly employees.
Ive never not been paid weekly. Ive worked labourer jobs, technical trade jobs, and office jobs, and all have paid me weekly.
Fortnightly would be annoying. Monthly would be a nightmare.
Monthly is just fine if you understand it’s the same amount of money regardless.
