Pay periods

[aellisrn]

What is a general pay period for those of you that get paid, say... Every other Thursday?

If I start a job on Monday, and their regular scheduled pay day is the Thursday after I start, will I get a check for 3 days? How does that typically work in most situations?

Thanks

Where i work we get paid on mondays, time goes in the sunday before payday so you would be getting those days on the following payday

Ask your nurse manager or the HR department. At my job we started work on the first day of the new pay period so we got paid for the first time about 3 weeks later, after that it was every other week.

Both my hospital jobs have held back one week, and you got paid every two weeks. If this is true of your job then you wouldn't get your first check for 3 weeks.

That's what I'm guessing. December has 3 Thursdays that are pay day. I'm figuring I'll catch the payday on the 16th. Not the 2nd. But wishful thinking I'm hoping to get paid on the 2nd!

At my job, we're paid weekly. The pay period runs Monday-Sunday, time sheets are due the following Monday, and checks go out that Thursday.

That's the way it is in my facility, except that it runs Sunday to Saturday and we get paid on Friday. Not that checks are "held back", but if the OP worked in my facility and started on a Monday of payday week, there wouldn't be a paycheck that Friday but two weeks from that Friday, because the cutoff for that check would have been Saturday and Monday is too late.
