Yes. That's a common practice, so when you leave, you'll get a check after your last day.

They probably are not holding back that first pay but the one before the current pay period whenever that may be.

At a previous job we were paid for the current week but deductions were in arrears, so if you took a day off this week NEXT week's check was short(or showed use of a personal day), so it really worked out the same except when you started you didn't have to wait a month to get your first check(we were paid every two weeks).

You will receive your final check (probably by mail) the pay period after you left of your final week's pay.

This really is not as complicated as some want to make it.

Isn't some form of Business Math required for graduation any more? PLEASE, do not see this as a knock on any one poster.

This is the main reason why someone should not stop unemployment until they get their first paycheck.

You need something to keep you afloat until the NEW MONEY rolls in

Your UI check is a week behind too so you will get your first paycheck the week after you get your last UI check, there will be no gap.

It depends on when your start date is for the job. If I start a new job on Monday, April 9th, that may mess me up because I will not get another pay until maybe the end of the month
since I wouldn't be able to file for another check next sunday.

But if I start a new job on Monday, April 16th, I can file for my last check the sunday before I start and then will get that check on Wednesday and it would tie me over until I get my first check.

You will not report you are working until you have for a week, well that is how it works here anyway.

If I start Monday they will not know about it until I report the following Sunday, "yes I got a job" so no check that week but I will get one from my new job.

Why would you wait a month? We get our UI checks every week, except the first and it is for two weeks.

What I'm saying is my next scheduled file date is Sunday, April 15th. So if I got a call today saying I start my new job on Monday, April 9th, I could not file next sunday because that would mean I was lying when I said I didn't work the week ending April 14th.

Well that's great news that you finally got a new job. So you're now just waiting for the start date? Excellent. I don't understand all the ins and out of the UE filing dates but I'm sure you'll get it all worked out and a real pay cheque coming in will be such a relief.

Such great news, now maybe he won't be so crabby. He might even stop running to the mods and having threads closed any time someone disagrees with him. I know, it's just a dream.
