Does anyone know about when the first paycheck will be deposited into accts...
My son left all his banking and 'bills' for me to pay for him. Im a little concerned that no money has been deposited into his acct yet, as his recruiter told him that it would be that first week, and its been two.
I just worry about keeping his stuff paid up...he works hard to pay his bills ontime, and I don't want to mess that up for him. I would pay them for him, but Im currently recovering from surgery and havent worked myself.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

It took almost a month for my son's first paycheck to get into his account. It takes time for everything to work its way through the system but once it starts, it's steady. As Hoppi says, 1st and 15th like clockwork. My son got to BC on the 20th but didn't get paid until the 15th of the following month. Of course he got 25 days pay instead of 15.
If you can't manage to make minimum payments for your son, try calling the companies and explaining the situation and see if they'll give him an extension. Worth a try.
