These time periods are rediculous in the computer age. Heck I can’t believe every 2 weeks is still standard. It should be daily.
Overtime is calculated weekly in most states, so it has to be weekly.
Student workers are paid once a month, but the union wants two paychecks per month. UOSW bargaining team member Izzie Marshall told the Labor Press the university often pays workers late, so they can go more than a month between paychecks.
That seems like a strange demand. Either it is a bureaucratic problem or deliberate. If it is bureaucratic doubling the workload is clearly bad. if it is deliberate having more frequent paychecks will just give them an opportunity to downplay the issue since a large delay percentage is easier to justify on shorter overall durations (being one week late on a 2 week cycle is much easier to justify than being two weeks late on a monthly one).
From my experience with a fortune 500 company, it’s about using that money in the time span between checks. So say you have 100,000 in weekly paychecks due, if you invest that in a week you will technically make more than if you didn’t(probably, maybe not this week)
