There are two categories of people when it comes to the choice of when to receive payment for work. There is the category that prefers it be paid weekly so they can off set bills as they come so they do not become a burden, while there is the category that prefers it monthly so they can plan well for the month.
If employers put out the option before you to either to be paid weekly or monthly for your job, which will you prefer? Please give reasons asides the ones I have stated to support your answer.
I prefer weekly payments, simply because I love early access on my money but most people prefer monthly payments and believe the reason behind it for majority is that they don't have good self-control and once they get money, they spend it immediately on entertainment, including clubs, drinks, clothes, restaurants, expensive food, etc.
Because of lack of self-control, people prefer monthly salary, it also makes them happy when they see big numbers wholly deposited on their bank account.
Would you prefer to be a contract staff for a company that is being paid a certain percentage for every job delivered, or would you prefer a job with a fixed monthly or weekly income? (Give a reason for your answer aside the reason that will be stated)
With percentage earnings, you can earn more and you will be very motivated to work, but the disadvantage will be when there is no job.
With Fixed earnings, you are sure of what to receive, but sometimes the workload you may encounter may be so much that the salary you are paid does not befit the work you put in.
Depends on company and type of job. There are companies where you work less and get pretty good fixed salary and there are companies where you work a lot and don't earn too much.
For example, if you work in a tech store in a location where people rarely shop, you may prefer fixed salary but if you work in a location where a lot of people come, then commissions from sold items would generate much higher salary.
