    US based here. My wife gets paid on the 15th and last day of the month (28,29,30, or 31st). So she could have anywhere from 9-12 working days each check. I am paid every other week.

      For a second I was like “what month ends on the 29th???”

      And then I realized you were being so specific as to include leap years one day.

      strange. as far as i understand it we got rid of it because more frequent paychecks can make people subconsciously less likely to put money into savings, sort of how like living next to a supermarket makes some people cook less. it’s not a law, but the unions pushed for it until it became the standard.

        Hint: if it’s a thing that unions push for, don’t be surprised if it doesn’t exist in the U.S.

        It’s not a coincidence at all, this place absolutely hates empowered workers.
