Third pay of the month

[The Foozzler]

For anyone paid bi weekly, you know what I am talking about. Since there are 52 weeks in the year, being paid biweekly means 26 checks per year instead of 24. That means twice during the year, a month falls with a third paycheck.  It is the best 2 days of the year.

Not only is it an extra check for the month, nothing is taken out other than taxes, so it is a few hundred more than my normal check.

Anyone else get their 3rd check this month?

[charlielove]

Yes!

I got mine in August and next one will be January. All deductions are taken out on my extra checks.

I get my third check on Friday. I love this time of year because in a few weeks we get our unused personal days and I've only used 2 of the 5. Plus Christmas bonus!

Mine were in March and August this year. The March one helped fund Lyla's birthday party and the August one took us to the zoo! My next one will be 1/31/2014!

I got mine last month. It was awesome.

H gets his in Jan. love that third paycheck bc we don't budget for it so it's a nice "bonus" to save or use!

[silverjm]

Me! All deductions are still taken out though.

[thedahliharpa]

Nope, mine is in January.

Me! I totally forgot! Wooooo!! Although after this there's only 1 more pay until Christmas. That's scary.

That stinks. All of our deductions for health insurance, pension, and union dues are based on twice per month, so none of those are taken from the third pay.

Mine is this month!

DH gets paid bi-weekly...I should check! I get paid bi-monthly so no extra checks for me. I guess at least I know what day of the month I get paid on?

Mine is in Jan! I'm at a new job so I've never had this happen before. I'm super excited!

Same

Me too!  I wish they didn't take any deductions though, that would be fantastic!

Not for me, but I hate bi weekly paychecks. That 3rd paycheck always throws things off.

Yes, both H and I are on the same pay schedule! I already put a lot of it in savings on the 2nd check because I have us on a little schedule of payments.

[unclejesse]

Ours is January, and we are always very excited when it happens!

[Deleted]

We get it in January

[carawestt]

H gets it in August and January.

[mumegs]

Mine was always the same amount, but I loved those like a bonus.

We had 3 pay checks last month but they weren't extra. They fell just right in the days that both the beginning of the month check and the end of the month check both had to go towards paying rent. Lame. We do get an extra check right after Christmas though. We also had one back in august. Woohoo.

Mine was last month and it was glorious.
