When do you usually get your first paycheck?

Question

When do you usually get your first paycheck?
I was talking to the manager about this and she told me that normally that everyone works for the Company gets paid once a week, but for new comers (such as myself) don't get payed until 2-3 weeks. I've worked since may 8th and it's almost been 4 weeks now, and I still haven't got my first paycheck in the mail. What's the hold up? and is this normal to wait that long?

Answer 1

How the heck do we know. You need to ask the company

Answer 2

You definitely need to ask your manager. Maybe you are supposed to pick it up instead of receiving it in the mail. I would ask a co-worker if possible when the next pay period is. Definitely check with your manager though. They cannot withold your pay.

Answer 3

All of the important things such as food, clothing, utility bills, the mortgage, the internet bill, the cable bill and an occasional concert.
