Pay Question

[emtbass]

I was wondering if anybody knows if most hospitals hold your first check. I believe the hospital I will be working for has 2 week pay periods, but I am not certain. Does this mean that I will not get a paycheck for 1 month after I start?

Most 2 week payrolls hold you for one pay period, depending on when you enter the system.

 

[emtbass]

So if that were the case.... it would be 1 full month before I got a check... correct?

 

[ECC]

say you come in on the first day of the pay cycle, it is possible to get he second week pay, but not probable.

only one way to find out, ask 'em..........

But don't ask them until you're sitting down filling out your employment paperwork.

yep. I work for a hospital and they hold the first check, so you don't get paid until 1 month from starting. It sucks, but when you leave, you get a check 2 weeks after you're gone. hope that helps

More than likely it will be held. The payrolls of most larger companies are done by accounting firms that, in many cases, are not even in the same state.

I've taken half my jobs without knowing how much I was going to be paid because of that lol.

Well I know how much I will be paid. That I did ask, but the rest is still up in the air.
