Is your salary paid weekly or monthly?

Monthly. It is the common way to do it where I live. So everything else, all bills and credit cards etc. are built around that too. It would be really hard if it was changed to weekly because of this. Interesting discussion by the way!

Here in the Philippines, usually people get a bi-monthly salary. When I worked in Australia, we had a weekly salary. And I prefer the weekly salary. Now that I am working as a Virtual assistant. My clients pay me weekly. I think this is better than the bi-monthly salary.

In my job as a programmer, the salary is given every 15 days. The give it every start and every 15th of each month. Actually, I am already used to it so I prefer it. From a friend I've learned to budget based on when they give my salary. Since they give it every 15th, I have to budget every 15 days. If they would give it every month, I'll budget it every month. I find it very effective and I guess it is the best way to budget our salaries.

I worked for one company who had a marvelous system. They paid every 4 weeks so that was the monthly amount you worked with every month except on month of the year you got two paydays. It was wonderful particularly if it was near Christmas when it happened

Our salary is released every last working day of the month. It would be better if my salary is being released every 15th and the 30th of the month. I would be able to manage my finances much wisely if this is the case. Some workers receive their pays weekly, but this seems to be too time consuming for the HR personel incharge of the payroll,so a bi-montly salary seems to be fair enough.

I am a regular employee of one of a famous pawnshops here in the Philippines... mostly.. people here in Philippines got there salary twice a month... those who are in a factory get there salary weekly... but i would prefer if it was twice a month so that the larger amount the larger savings you can have.. ^^

Both the countries I worked at, the salary was paid monthly. The first place was very prompt and I have no complaints. The salary went straight to the bank (except the first time when I was paid in cash because I was yet to create an account and also because I had not been working for a whole month). The second place was crazy. Though we were made to open a salary account in a bank where none of us had an account, very few months did we get paid through the bank. The rest of the months we were paid in cash...that too...not on time..sometimes late(very late) and sometimes in bits/installments. I would go crazy trying to work my accounts there. It was so bad that some of my colleagues lost count of which month's salary they were getting. This school is asking me to return to work...but this one aspect keeps me away (not that they were even paying a salary on par with the rest of the international schools)

our salaries here in Philippines (private) are mostly paid in bi monthly. so salary pay out happens twice a month. I can only say for the 3 companies i have worked with, thought they have different cut offs, we are paid as such. my 2brother's company are also paying twice a month. =)

I am from India and is working as a medical transcriptionist. I get paid monthly and mostly around 5th of every month. Before I worked there were companies, which paid around 15th. I think it is great to get paid monthly so that we can get money together and pay some of the bills and take the money for other needs. I think if we get paid weekly our expenses will be more.

Hi youless, here we get our pay three days or so before the end of every month. The pay is transferred straight away to our bank account on time monthly. This has put in practice after having the atm service. It's very much convenient that we don't have to waste time to get our money out from the bank account limited during bank office working hours only Nowadays we can get money out relaxingly whenever we like from any atm available here. I like and feeling happy as well to be paid monthly for it's a great pleasure to see more money accumulated in my account. Some time we might spend extra money earlier if getting weekly pay or half month pay. My current part time work salary is paid monthly as well Happy posting

I get paid once a month. How I wish I were paid weekly as it would help me get cash again and again and keep my pockets full. Also, I think one can better manage one's money if it is provided in small amounts and more frequently. Monthly salaries often get splurged in the first two weeks itself and it is a very hard time during month-ends. How we keep waiting for payday!

My Father use to be a Manager at a big company and he got paid every 2 weeks I think he made 60k + He loved his job a lot haha.. Believe me haha they use to have so many events and we attend them as a family which was very nice :) If anything I will prefer to get paid weekly then monthly because bills In the United States are random they can be any day of the month. If I had the choice between Salary and hourly I will pick Hourly if I was a manager because in the end. you can work 80 hours in one week and get paid the same thing over and over no matter how hard you work which sucks

My salary is paid monthly.i think if my salary is paid weekly.it's not bad.i needn't keep many currency on my hands.i'm lazy to go to bank.so i usually keep many currency at my home to spend them.

Here in the US I get paid on a bi monthly period, My company just went this pay schedule as of the first of the year, it used to be weekly, but I think this will make my money go farther

It's neither. I don't have a job. But if I did I wouldn't prefer one over the other. I'd be happy either way. Happy mylotting!

Heyya youless...I get paid every other Thursday. I have had weekly jobs but there is much smaller amounts to work with at once. I have never had a monthly paid job so I can't really say what I prefer. I do like having the larger amount at once to budget though.

I'm from Philippines. My company paid me weekly but not all company here in the Philippines paid weekly. I do prefer to get my salary weekly.

hi youless, i am paid 15th and 30th of the month. and you guessed it right. i am from the philippines. have a nice day. ann

Here its monthly, But weekly is gonna be nice. I mean lets face it those guys in England receiving thounsand of pounds weekly are in paradise i d say. Im talking about the footballers in their major league.

I get my salary weekly from one job and biweekly from my other. Most kids I know that have jobs get paid weekly and most adults I know get paid biweekly
