What kind of payment system would you prefer as an employee. Monthly or hourly? All of them have their pros and cons.

Hourly payment affords you to make more money provided you put in the effort. The challenge is that if you are slick or unable to work, you earn nothing.

For monthly payments, the pay might be lower but sick days are part of the month and you would be paid.

I prefer monthly pay because I feel the advantages are more

I would still prefer the standard practice being paid twice a month, 15th and 30th day. I am only referring to regular jobs, either online or offline. For online stunts like RIF, I prefer to redeem the payment anytime once reached the minimum payment threshold.

I prefer monthly payment because I can get paid on holidays, sick leave or annual leave. I usually pay my bills monthly so I don't have any cash flow problem with this payment method.

I prefer to get paid every hour and thank god I know how to save so that I won't spend the money anyhow but I don't like the end of the month payment

I think that both of them are good. When you receive daily payments, you tend to manage your day accordingly and you can spend money daily as well.
You are right but I think daily payment is mostly good for people who know how to spend money, save money and can also control their impulsive buying

Hourly pay is better than monthly pay because it provides more flexibility and transparency, allowing workers to better track their earnings and manage their finances. Additionally, hourly pay is more fair, as it accurately reflects the amount of work done in a given period.

For basic salary and bonus I prefer to be paid monthly, but for food and transportation allowance I prefer to be paid daily. I have experienced payment methods like this, I can save almost half of my food money, because I eat only as needed. So it can be an additional savings.

I prefer to be paid straight commission as a salesman. Both myself and my employer feel good because I get paid exactly what I am worth, no more and no less.

The good thing is for me to get paid but I like instant payment which will be hourly it will be good to get your money as soon as you make money
There is this satisfaction that comes when you are able to get your money as soon as you complete your work. Having to wait for a month to end before you get paid can make the work tiring for you.
