I'm curious to see if there's something that will back up the story. I'm not a state employee, but I am treated as one in most aspects. Our pay periods* are from the 1st day of the month to the 15th and then the 16th until the end of the month. The paycheck comes seven days later, always on the 7th and 22nd of the month. I don't know if the state uses this system, but if they do, I wonder why my paycheck is delayed a week every half month.
