My mother-in-law works for a small business that has grown considerably over the years and isn't so small anymore. When they first started, employees were paid weekly. For some time now, the boss has wanted to switch to paying every other week to cut down on payroll processing costs. Every time he suggests that, a bunch of employees complain. Why? That would mean that there would be one week when they didn't get a paycheck during the transition period. They can't afford to wait an extra week for the paycheck that would cover two week's of income. It isn't just one person complaining either, it is a bunch of them. A whole group of gainfully employed adults who could not make it through one week without a paycheck. Rather sad, I think.
