<prompt> Human: So I make 34k per year. Which I think was around 2800 per month. They said something about me getting paid every other Tuesday. I started December 30th, so Ive been here for two weeks. I was expecting it to be around 1400, but it ended up being around 500 with about 140 in taxes. This is my first job, my first paycheck, my first everything. I need to make rent in 2 weeks, but at this rate, I wont have anything left over after my other expenses. Could this be a mistake or just something to do with when I started my job and how it fit into the pay days?EDIT: Thanks for the clarification, everyone! :  <response>: It sounds like the pay period ends quite a bit before the pay day. Check your paycheck stub, and look at the period ending date, or something similar. I bet its a good week, if not more, before the check date. If thats the case, your next paycheck will be the full amount.
