What is the right way to ask for paycheck? will the boss get mad?

Question

I started a job for a company last monday. the boss told me that pay is on the 1st and the 16th of each months. I worked full week before august 1 but I did not get paid yet. My boss is too busy doing her own stuff and I think she forgot to pay or either she doesn't like to pay her workers on time.. what is the right way to ask if my boss seems to pay their workers? will the boss get mad and think less of me?? if I try to go after the paycheck although the boss didn't pay on time??

Answer 1

If you start late in a pay period, it isn't unusual to not get a check until the second payday.  But you should get all that's due you.  

Answer 2

You probably won't get your first paycheck until the 16th because you just started.
