Well, I’m used to monthly, both for rent and for salaries. So biweekly is still strangely often to me.
But thanks for correcting me.
Monthly or biweekly are both common in the US for salaries. And biweekly being the most common for hourly. Really just depends on your employer.
But, bills always come in monthly, which makes the monthly budgeting simple. A biweekly bill would fuck over a bunch of people as occasionally it would hit three times in a month.
specifically, in statesia it depends on: the size of your employer (how many employees they have) and whether you have a union that has negotiated a specific pay term.

I'm not sure how common it is, but my employer (in the US) runs on a twice monthly payroll system.
