how often do you get a paycheck?

[Amby 490]

was just curious how often people are paid. do you prefer being paid a certain way? is it more convenient to pay all the bills at once if you get paid monthly or do you find it easier to spread it out a bit with being paid weekly?

I get paid biweekly. I'd rather be paid weekly, or even daily. It should be in my pocket, not theirs, once I've earned it. But practically speaking, it doesn't really matter.

I don't work right now but my hubby gets paid weekly and I love it... makes paying the bills so much easier...

I get paid semi-monthly, which isn't an option on your poll.

1st and 15th of every month, or the business day before if it isn't a business day.

Bi-weekly means once every two weeks; i.e. 26 pay period per year.

Semi-monthly means 24 pay periods per year.

I don't care how often they pay me as long as they pay me. I've been paid monthly before and that was cool too.

That pretty much sums up what I was going to say.

I got paid twice a month (on 15th & on 30th) or business day before if those dates is on weekend/holiday. He got paid weekly.

I prefer monthly because thats how I got paid before - just used to it.

this one nanny job I had I got paid $500 on the 15th and $500 on the 30th regardless of how many days or hours I worked.... and then I got the month of July off with full pay.. and then they would give me @ a $500 bonus at Christmas...

I loved that job and not just because of the money but I felt like I was part of the family.. it almost felt weird getting paid....

You should have politely declined

Ditto! 5th and 20th of each month. Hubby gets paid bi-weekly. Iz all good, as long as there's $$$ coming in.

The nice thing about biweekly as opposed to semi-monthly (IMO) is that you budget according to 2 paychecks a month, and then 2 months a year you get a "bonus" paycheck!
