      I just started a job getting paid monthly. The thing is, my first check at the beginning of this month was only for about a week and a half so I got no 🦍🛋️ this time around.

      It’s wild to me, that there seem to be so many payment schemes.

      In Germany you get paid monthly, either always on the first or always 15th, but that’s pretty much all variation we have. Even unemployment benefits and parental leave support is monthly.

        Japan is monthly for at least salaried jobs and most pay on the 25th (or prior business day if weekend or holiday). I think once-monthly is the legal minimum, but some jobs will pay cash same day.
