1st and 15th or every 2 weeks?

[rudeguy]

How would you rather get paid?

You can add how you currently get paid if you would like.

 

[rh71]

no preference but knowing the dates are better than figuring out which Friday...

 

[Bateluer]

I went though 6 years of being paid on the 1st and the 15th, though it could get a little distorted with weekends and holidays. Generally speaking, it was easier to budget than my current scheme of every 2 weeks.

 

[MotF Bane]

Never had either, but 1st and 15th sounds better than every two weeks.

 

[mugs]

Don't care either way, but I agree with rh71 that getting paid twice a month is easier than trying to remember when you get paid.

 

[BrianH1]

i get paid on the 15th and the 30th

 

[WaTaGuMp]

I feel people adjust no matter when they get paid.

 

[Reliant]

I get paid on the 10th and 26th.

 

[iamwiz82]

I like every two weeks better because then I budget for two checks a month and the other two checks are bonuses. Woohoo.

 

[GeekDrew]

I'd prefer 1st and 15th; I am paid every 2 weeks. I'm not an accountant/auditor, but I would think that 1st and 15th would also be MUCH easier to audit as far as annual accumulation goes, rather than having pay periods spanning years?

 

[Linflas]

I get paid 1st and 15th, slightly prefer every 2 weeks.

this. the two bonuses for me are like special treats, even though they're really not.

 

[randomlinh]

I like every other week. Actually, I'd prefer weekly to be honest, heh. But as noted, I'd adjust either way.

 

[BrownTown]

I think it would be easier if it were monthly instead of every two weeks since most bills come monthly and it would be easier to budget out.

But apparently 90% of people in America are too big of retards to actually save money or budget etc and live paycheck to paycheck and would probably starve if we didn't pay them for a month...

1st and 15th would still be a pain in the ass but not as much as every 2 weeks for accounting purposes.

Accountants prefer 15th and 30th.

What about February? :Q

Do they just use the 28th or 29th in that case?

Good point... 15 and last. When I indicated 1 and 15, I was thinking that the pay period would be ending the day prior... which obviously makes no sense. 15+last makes more sense.

Use 'last' instead of 30.

I've always been paid every 2 weeks except when I got paid weekly. I would prefer 1st and 15th just so that I could set everything up automatically from my account.

Getting paid weekly was great when I was making good money but sucked once the checks got smaller.

 

[imported_Imp]

Every other for the slightly more often receipt of money. I've been getting paid weekly for the last couple months, that ain't too bad.

 

[trmiv]

I get paid 15th and last.

 

[Baked]

Monthly salary. I'm not a big spender and I do pretty well w/ my personal finance.
