Question: how long does it take to get the first paycheck when starting a new job that pays bi-weekly?
Answer: paid weekly: your first check would be at the end of your 2nd week, for the prior week's work. You are said to be one week behind. bi-weekly: your check would generally be at some point in the third week of work, covering the first two weeks. bi-monthly: this is usually the 15th and last day of the month.
