<prompt> Human: If I work 15h, at 8 12 hours a day, for the past 8 days, I should be at 1020 before taxes. I received just under 420. This is my first job, and Im not really experienced with my finances yet, but my seems pay was considerably off. Ill discuss it with my coworkers, and maybe go over with my employer from there, but is there something Im missing?Edit: Thanks everyone, I think my question is answered. Assistant: When did your pay period beginend? The company I work for pays twice a month and the pay periods end on random days. Human: Biweekly; I started on the first day after payday.  <response>: We get paid every 2 weeks, but if someone started the day after we get paid, their first paycheck would only be about a weeks worth of pay, because payday is in the middle of the next pay period. It takes time to cut the checks
