I don't know if there's any cause for 'concern.' This is apparently just the way she does business and I assume you knew that from the start. However, if it bugs you and/or you need your check quicker than she's willing to disperse, then I'd move on. I'm thinking that 2-7 hours per monthly wouldn't really make or break the bank anyway.
Jobs that pay monthly are not uncommon. Yes, it's challenge in finances as you learn how to work your household budget around the payday, but it's doable. It's also perfectly legal. You should have been aware of how pay is disbursed before you agreed to work for them.
As she's not willing to change her payment schedule, you don't really have any other option other than to seek employment elsewhere.
Best of luck to you.

I do tutoring on the side for a tutoring company for nursing. The owner pays on the first of the month. I have to submit my time sheet at the end of the month and receive payment within a week. I hate this. Most of the time I only do 2-7 hours a month and would just rather have my check within two weeks especially when I have to travel a distance.
I asked her if I can be paid bi-weekly and she said "No". I'm thinking about resigning from the company. She gets paid upfront by the client, and I get a small percentage 4 weeks later. I don't think it is right, for her to be paid up front and I have to wait 4 weeks.
What would you do? Am I over reacting or is my concern legit?
