Please note there is a delay between the compensation earned for the current week’s work and the pay received – this time is required for reimbursement submission, and payroll preparation and processing.
In other words, each paycheck will not include the current week’s work; instead your compensation includes the pay earned during the immediately before the current week.
- For example, the payroll running on Monday, July 14 will be for work done during the weeks of June 23 and June 30.

- We’re developing, brainstorming and writing our curricula for Headfirst Summer Camps to make sure our campers have the best summer ever.
- We’re connecting with new partners with our Headfirst Professional Sports Camps to inspire the next generation of fans.
