    Ive never not been paid weekly. Ive worked labourer jobs, technical trade jobs, and office jobs, and all have paid me weekly.

    Fortnightly would be annoying. Monthly would be a nightmare.

        What about the first month? If you’ve got a buffer in the bank, it doesn’t matter much. But if you were living paycheck to paycheck, those 2-3 weeks might be enough to really set you back

      In the US, “most” corporate jobs are two weeks (26 pays).

      For a while bi-monthly was popular in some sectors ( 1st and 15th usually)

      Monthly happens but it’s extremely rare.
