strange. as far as i understand it we got rid of it because more frequent paychecks can make people subconsciously less likely to put money into savings, sort of how like living next to a supermarket makes some people cook less. it's not a law, but the unions pushed for it until it became the standard.

Hint: if it's a thing that unions push for, don't be surprised if it doesn't exist in the U.S.

It's not a coincidence at all, this place absolutely hates empowered workers.
