    I only ever heard of North Americans getting paid weekly/bi-weekly as standard.

      A bunch of Europeans in this comment section forgetting there are more “western” countries than just western Europe and the USA/north America.

      Fortnightly is the most common in Australia, with some people paid monthly also (depends on the company).

      And thankful for this. Monthly sounds terrible

        Notice how I specifically talked about places I heard of, never claimed I knew of every country. And I don’t really care one way or another myself tbh, I guess monthly mostly serves to reduce paperwork. More frequent sounds like it might better as the employee.
