Could be anything. My daughter gets paid on Monday for the previous
week. Happens to be the 15th but that is coincidence with the calendar.

One company had payroll from Wednesday to Tuesday given out on Thursday.

Last two companies I was salaried and got paid by direct deposit the
last Thursday of the month and it included the day paid and the next as
it was in that month.

Of all the pay schemes I've seen, I really liked the once a month.
Bills got paid on one day and what was left was what we lived on.
Pretty simple.
