Joining date - 16th July, pay cycle as per contract is weekly
Hope to be paid on this Friday
but while paying will only pay salary from 16th July to 20th, since pay period is weekly. This is to hold off on the pay to prevent employees from quitting without notice period.
Can someone please share their opinion on what can be done?
This is totally normal and legal. I used to have the same thing (except monthly, not weekly... that was a wait!)... when we switched to biweekly I got an extra large check to realign.
