With pay periods most companies will have whats known as a cut off day you need your paper work in by midnight on that day to get the paycheck the following week, otherwise it'll go into the 2nd weeks pay you'll still get paid just have to wait an extra week, i remember having to send my Bol's and time sheets back via Fedex, UPS which ever was cheapest to get a pay in when we changed to scanning documents at the Flying J that was so much more efficient. Well it does pay to read all the fine print did they have one of those fancy advertising spiels that lured you in only to find out it was all a load of hogwash?
