I remember, shortly after we first moved to the US, having to run out into the yard to stop my wife from yelling "Here pussy pussy! Here pussy pussy!"

Re: Salary Frequency
Ah, fortnight! One of the words to have completely disappeared from my vocabulary. Although I did hear it used by Ron McLean on Hockey Night In Canada recently so at least some Canadians must know what it means. Here in the US, I don't think I've ever heard it used and I'm pretty sure the vast majority would have no clue what it means.

Re: Salary Frequency

Re: Salary Frequency
Thanks All,
Glad to know its the normal way to be paid.
Every 2 weeks is fine.
Bi-Weekly, sounds like a specialist magazine to me.

Re: Salary Frequency
+1. As mentioned earlier, I do get paid monthly, but I have a son who gets paid twice a month on the 1st and the 15th and not a lot. His rent etc., (for the full month), is due on the first, which means he gets short before the second pay check most months.

Seems these days more money goes out, then comes in. I always have to skip something each month or just pay enough to keep them happy.
