by Whether or not you are paid every two weeks or twice a month may not seem like a big deal. For those starting or leaving employment, however, it could mean the loss of a nice chunk of change.

This is why it is easier to outsource and employ children. They tend not to be able to do this sort of math and never realize when they're being robbed. Also, they are not yet bitter at life and still work enthusiastically for treats and snacks unlike their older counterparts that want "money" and "benefits".
Maybe your employer does realize this and that is why they had you start the day you did.
hmmmm...
Actually, I was originally slated to start the week prior and then asked for a week delay at the request of my previous employer. If I would have started then (August 13th), it would have been in the 15th half-month, which has 88 hours. This still would have resulted in a temporary pay cut, just not as severe.

One other option by Brandon :: NR9 :: on 28 November 2007
Another option for companies on the twice-a-month payroll would be to only have employees start or end their employment at the break between pay periods. In the end, however, although this is more realistic than my sarcastic crack in the conclusion about non-existent half-months with 862/3 working hours, I doubt it would be enforceable - particularly when dealing with the whole quitting thing.
