I know people get paid at different times of the month.

Let's see if there are patterns.

Hopefully today or I will have to throw a fit. 75% of my pay is 18 days late. Shocked

25th unless it falls on a public holiday or a weekend, then I get paid on the last business day.

5th of the month, but I haven't had a payday yet as this is my first month at this job. I'm not sure when it will happen if the 5th is on a weekend/holiday. I guess I'll find out soon.

Note: I should have clarified, I get paid on the 5th of the month for the previous month, so I haven't worked a full month yet and payday is March 5th.

I hope you have bugged them continually about this.

Pay is calculated on the last day of the month and paid on the 5th.

In my last job, pay was calculated and paid on the 19th.

15th

If I left on the 16th, I would get half a months free pay.

Whenever they feel like it, whatever amount they feel like...but it all adds up at the end of the month.

The first of the month for me (for the previous month worked). This would be ideal for doing a midnight run, however my school is such a decent place to work that I have a very hard time seeing anyone do this.

No, no, I think ours is better for a midnight run. I get paid for the whole month of February on February 15th, meaning if I left on the 16th, I would still be paid until the end of February.

What, is your school crazy or something? Paying people for time not actually worked yet. Bizarre.

All public schools (that I know of) do this, except many are later in the month and not in the middle.
