I have 2 jobs, and both pay every 2 weeks. One of my jobs is with the Federal government, so extra shifts and shift premiums can take up to 10 months to get paid with the brilliant Phoenix Pay System, although after a 2 year gong show, they are slowly catching up.

On salary+ bonuses. Paid on last day of every month. Hold over for a month, for example if I work on Feb 1 I don't get paid for that job until March 31. Took a while to get used to since it was almost two months before getting a full paycheck. After that it was fine.

Self employed, so monthly. But everybody gets paid before me, so depending on how receivables and payables are...sometimes I don't get paid. And sometimes I get big dividend payments randomly...

Question

I get paid when I'm supposed to get paid. Nuff said.

The question begs to be asked -
What on earth is the purpose of this thread?! What is it supposed to accomplish?! The OP doesn't even give us a clue! Or is this just another indication of how bad AO Cabin Fever has become, this time around?

Go figure

This sort of thread and shared info is extremely valuable to phishers.

I am sure it was just a bored day question however if you don't want to be scammed by a lurker or data miner don't contribute.

Don’t give me too much credit, I’m lucky to do online banking without help from my kids.
