Question

My new job starts July 21. Since I am paid twice a month (15th and last day), when is the first paycheck?

Answer 1

the 15th for the 21st through the last day of the month

Answer 2

Most likely Aug 15 for the period Jul 21-31. Standard practice is a 2 week delay to give accounting time to process the paycheck.

Answer 3

Check with your boss to be sure.  Usually there a delay between the end of a pay period, the payroll being processed, and the checks being issued.  Most likely you will not get paid at the end of the month, or a very small check for a day or two or work.  The check on the 15th should be a large one for the days from the previous period and the most recent  period.  Then the checks should be the regular amounts.

Answer 4

It really depends on when payroll is turned in.  I would guess you will be paid on August 15th, but you get a small check on the 31 of July.  I would think payroll would be turned in on the 28th of July, which would have you get a paycheck for the 21 - 25.  Just ask them when they turn in payroll.

good luck at your new job

Answer 5

Ask your employer. It could be July 31, if they can get you into the system fast enough; or it could be Aug 15, in which case you'd be paid for 3 weeks on that check.
