Every company should pay weekly

I miss those days of weekly pay. Felt like a rich boi

I miss it as well and you could really live on the edge because that next check was only a few days away. Pay bills, go out and be damn near down to your last dollar but still survive if you do it right.

Can only image brehs who would be in that kind of situation and link with a female just because she had food and it was basically a lifeline until you got paid again :russ:

I get paid weekly, but i used to get paid monthly in college. It bothered me back then, but that was because i only made $800 a month. and had to be very budget minded all month to ensure i didn't run out of money.

But thats the thing i think. Monthly paychecks only bother you if you don't have a high enough monthly salary to get you through the month without stressing. If you are making more in month than you would spend. its probably not a big deal.

I get 13 checks a year.
:francis:
I budget and make it work. I used to work 90 straight days then am off (without pay) for 90 days. Now I work 75 on and 75 off.

I feel like a rich boy when I come home and a broke boy right before I go back to work.

Humans are controlled by their habits. On average people who get paid weekly end up spending faster. It's documented. Especially blue collar workers. In some industries they would go on benders every Friday and have a ton of call ins so companies started paying biweekly which forced those types to show up to work.

And that's what people do. Plan worse have less discipline and live on the edge.

Try and stack for like a year until you’re not living pay check to pay check then it won’t matter.

I work 3 days a week and get paid for the whole week. If I have the time and energy I can hustle for 2-3 days on my own time but honestly for the last year I've just been living it up when I'm off. Life is not promised. I seen to many people go in a short time and all they did when they were here was work.

Employers who don’t pay bi-weekly are cheap and don’t care about their workers.

It’s only to save money.
I had a company once say that they were getting charged more for doing payroll weekly because they outsourced the task. That is a factor also in some cases. Depends who does that work.
