Do I Have The Right To Be Paid Weekly By My Employer?

Your employer has the right to pay the employees on whatever schedule they choose.  Often times they are at the mercy of whatever schedule their outside payroll company requires.  For example, if your paycheck says ADP on it, that means that your company forwards your payroll data to them and they are the ones who calculates everything and releases the checks.

The 3 most common payment schedules are 1) Every other week  2) On the 1st and the 15th of the month  3) Weekly.  Each company generally only has one payroll schedule annually and rarely makes a change to that schedule.  It is rare, but some employers only pay 1 time each month.

The bottom line is that once a company makes you a job offer, by accepting the job, you are agreeing to abide by their policies including their work schedules, payment schedules, dress code, etc.   The only time that a company could be in jeopardy of violating state employment laws is if for some reason they single out one person and pay them differently than the rest of their employees.  If the payment schedule is important to you, prior to accepting a job offer, you do have the right to respectfully ask the potential employer what their payment schedule is.  You can then use that information to help you make a decision to whether or not you want to accept a job that pays on that schedule.
