How frequently are employees paid in a weekly pay schedule?

1. Once a month

2. Twice a month

3. Once each week

4. Every two weeks

The correct answer is: Once each week

In a weekly pay schedule, employees receive their wages once each week. This means that for every week they work, they are compensated on a regular and consistent basis, typically at the end of the week or on a specific day designated for pay. This type of payment schedule can benefit employees by providing them with a more regular cash flow, helping them manage their expenses and budgeting more effectively. The other payment frequencies, such as once a month or every two weeks, are distinct from a weekly schedule. A twice-a-month schedule means employees receive their paychecks two times during the month, while receiving pay once a month provides the longest gap between payments. Both of these options do not align with the definition of a weekly pay schedule, which specifies payment occurring once per week. Therefore, the correct answer clearly defines the frequency of payment within that specific scheduling framework.
