      Ive never not been paid weekly. Ive worked labourer jobs, technical trade jobs, and office jobs, and all have paid me weekly.

      Fortnightly would be annoying. Monthly would be a nightmare.

          What about the first month? If you’ve got a buffer in the bank, it doesn’t matter much. But if you were living paycheck to paycheck, those 2-3 weeks might be enough to really set you back

        In the US, “most” corporate jobs are two weeks (26 pays).

        For a while bi-monthly was popular in some sectors ( 1st and 15th usually)

        Monthly happens but it’s extremely rare.
