when do we get paid

The timing of when you get paid depends mainly on your employer's payroll schedule. Common pay schedules include weekly (often Fridays), biweekly, twice a month (e.g., the 1st and 15th), or monthly (e.g., the last day of the month). Your first paycheck might be delayed if you start in the middle of a pay period, in which case you may be paid at the next scheduled payday for the days you worked. Additionally, if payday falls on a holiday or weekend, payment is typically made the day before or the next business day. In general, employers pay remuneration at fixed, predetermined intervals, often at least once a month, usually in arrears with a maximum delay until about 10 days after the pay period ends. Payment is typically made via direct deposit or check as specified by the employer.
