[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 18 points 5 months ago (3 children) I tend to forget that salaries are paid weekly in the US. Then this makes at least somewhat sense. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] evasive_chimpanzee@lemmy.world 54 points 5 months ago (1 child) Not typically. Every other week is more common. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 22 points 5 months ago (1 child) Well, I’m used to monthly, both for rent and for salaries. So biweekly is still strangely often to me. But thanks for correcting me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RamRabbit@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago (3 children) Monthly or biweekly are both common in the US for salaries. And biweekly being the most common for hourly. Really just depends on your employer. But, bills always come in monthly, which makes the monthly budgeting simple. A biweekly bill would fuck over a bunch of people as occasionally it would hit three times in a month. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] homura1650@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago I'm not sure how common it is, but my employer (in the US) runs on a twice monthly payroll system. permalink fedilink source parent [–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* Really just depends on your employer. specifically, in statesia it depends on: the size of your employer (how many employees they have) and whether you have a union that has negotiated a specific pay term. source:am expert, i think it's in publication 15B permalink fedilink source parent [+] frostysauce@lemmy.world 1 point 5 months ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] Dave@lemmy.nz 10 points 5 months ago (1 child) But then why isn't rent paid weekly?

I'm asking why in the US people don't pay rent weekly. Where I live it's the most common way of doing it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] RamRabbit@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 child) I’m asking why in the US people don’t pay rent weekly. Where I live it’s the most common way of doing it. Basically all bills in the US come in monthly. Keeps the number of transfers, letters, and emails down. And as everything is on the same schedule, it works pretty well. A biweekly bill would fuck over a bunch of people as it would occasionally come in three times in a month; necessitating a larger amount of cash on hand to account for these months. (And people are, overall, really bad about having any cash on hand) Edit: Rejiggered the comment a bit Edit 2: People get paid in the US either monthly or biweekly. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dave@lemmy.nz 2 points 5 months ago* People get paid in the US either monthly or biweekly.

Then this makes at least somewhat sense. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago Us people get paid bi weekly like 98% of the time. Weekly pay is basically unheard of. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago (1 child) Almost fucking no where does weekly pay. It's 99% bi weekly with a rare monthly here and there. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 point 5 months ago It's probably like 98% every other week/twice a month, 1% monthly, and 1% weekly. permalink fedilink source parent
