Microsoft First Paycheck?

HR's FAQ says "it depends" on things. But for my lease planning purposes, does anyone know approximately how long after your start date and NEO that you get your first paycheck? (Direct deposit, US citizen, direct hire, if it matters). TC $205K. YOE 7. (No CS degree)

Thanks!

Paycheck gets deposited on 15th and last day of month. If you are joining before 10th or 25th, you will be able to get your first paycheck on 15th/last day of month.

Interesting, so hypothetically speaking, if I started on May 6th, would a May 15th paycheck be a partial check then?

Yes. You will get paid on pro-rated basis.

There is a possibility that your first paycheck will be skipped and added to your next pay period. Happened to me.
