We are monthly as well. I believe it’s a savings for your company as it reduces the amount of payroll processing required.

Yeah that monthly cycle is really rough to get used to at first at BAH. No idea why they do it but I hated it initially. It's great once you get paid a few times though.

I actually found monthly easier to budget. They do it to save money (interest) and likely bc the fed is a terrible at paying their bills on time

A.T. Kearney is also monthly. It just means you have to budget monthly, which you should be doing anyways... plan to have a few months cash flow buffer, which would smooth the ~2 week transition period

Having consulted on payroll consolidation on merger integration - BCG1 is right. I’ve never minded at all. Makes sense to save your company money.

Yeah it sucks the first couple of months but now I prefer it actually. Makes budgeting each month easier.
