Not here. Most orgs pay every other Friday for the first two of the
last 3 weeks. If John's thinks he's getting paid on Monday, that's
the 15th, which usually indicates a twice monthly pay period, 1st
and 15th. And that pays from the half month period that ended a
week age. These twice monthly pay period suck because there are a
variable number of days and weekend days in a pay period, and
sometimes payday falls an weekend. and you might get paid early or
late. Every other Friday is best for most peoepl since they don't
work weekdns and can blow all tehir spear money that weekns and
astill show yuop for work ion Monday.l If you get paid Monday, you
can't exactly go blow it call at the strip club that night, or if
you do, call in sick on Tuesday or show up and be semi-useless.

The nursing industry may be different since they have odd shifts and
hours. But I highly doubt he's getting a paycheck on Monday that
covers the previous 5 days, if he even worked at all last week.

My company is unusual in that we get paid weekly on Friday around
noon, and it includes pay for hours we haven't even worked yet. I'm
salaried there, so it doesn't matter, but 70% are hourly and they
get paid for 4 hours they haven't even worked yet. I don't know what
the reasoning is, but the owner may have insisted on that since he's
pretty cool. And on Fridays before a holiday, they'll have a little
"pep rally"/State of Union and tell everybody to go home around
1:PM. So I usually show up on Fridays anyway, but otherwise, I'm
usually already home. And since we have an ice storm/snow storm
coming, everybody already got Monday off. I'm not sure if that
applies to me or not, but I knwo nobody will be looking for so I can
**** off, too :-) But hourlies may even get paid for that using an
automatic floater or vacation option if they're out of floats. I
think they get 3 floaters a year and 1 extra for every year of
service up to 10.
