Pay periods

What is a general pay period for those of you that get paid, say... Every other Thursday?

If I start a job on Monday, and their regular scheduled pay day is the Thursday after I start, will I get a check for 3 days? How does that typically work in most situations?

Thanks
Where i work we get paid on mondays, time goes in the sunday before payday so you would be getting those days on the following payday

Ask your nurse manager or the HR department. At my job we started work on the first day of the new pay period so we got paid for the first time about 3 weeks later, after that it was every other week.

Both my hospital jobs have held back one week, and you got paid every two weeks. If this is true of your job then you wouldn't get your first check for 3 weeks.

At my job, we're paid weekly. The pay period runs Monday-Sunday, time sheets are due the following Monday, and checks go out that Thursday.
