Thats not unusual here. Many people - including a lot of government employees - are paid fortnightly so that they only need be given a fortnights notice.

also, he's been offered jobs at Mazda, Mitsubishi, Peugeot & Audi, all crap money. In his opinion, best money will be at an independent garage. VW & Audi are very close to each other in the CBD & both have the same attitude towards employees,ie/ you're not an individual, you're just a number.
If you want any more info, feel free to PM me & I'll pass it on.

He'd only been there about 4 months, they got paid weekly, so don't know if that makes any difference. He got 8 days holiday pay as well & got a better job straight away,so in our case it all worked out for the best :D
