Reply #78: If someone is working on a long project, or a never ending service thing, no they don't

Paychecks are often issued twice a month or every other week. So yes, it is possible to work and not get paid until the pay period has ended and pay day comes which can be three weeks. But no, that has nothing to do as to if they got the work done. It depends on whether or not they worked.

As a nurse, yes, I put in my time and get paid. Like those WH employees you are sneering at. Of course they work and then get paid.

You wrote "I usually wait until the work's done to pay some lowly carpenter or lawnworker to make sure its done to my satisfaction. Too bad that doesn't work with government."

Do you think they get paid in advance for their work? Why would you think that when you have admitted you are clueless as to what they do. Wtf are you going on about?
