4 months, 7 days.

I could see the argument that you could have had that money invested somewhere for an entire month, which over the course of many years or a career would definitely become significant. The company probably makes a good bit having an entire months worth of payroll checks invested somewhere as well.

IDK; tbh, I don't the the extra two weeks gathering interest on the relatively small amount that is left once my mortgage/etc is paid would be that significant. YMMV. *shrugs*

Howso? Unless the employer is using the change in pay frequency to decrease the pay rate, how would just changing how frequently you get a payout decrease your take-home? Same salary, same taxes, same insurance/etc costs, same everything...so how would changing the frequency at which you receive a check change the net amount you receive over the same time period?

Has to do with taxes taken out of paychecks. I have never looked up why, but even the most recent case of this I've seen, you end up with more taken out because you are "making more." Not as big of a slap in the face as when you get a raise, and fall into a new tax bracket, but still a crock...

Well, no, because the tax is calculated based on the time period you're paid over...

If that happens, I would say it's a case of someone in payroll not knowing how to do their damn job and miscalculating your taxes.
