Please note there is a one-week delay between the compensation earned for the current week’s work and the pay received.
In other words, each paycheck will not include the current week’s work; instead your compensation includes the pay earned during the two weeks immediately before the current week.
- For example, the payroll running on Friday, July 11 will be for work done during the weeks of June 23 and June 30.
