When do players get paid?

[Nose Face Killah]

When exactly do players get the part of their salary for that year of their contract? Always wondered this.

 

[JT Kreider]

They get two paychecks a month

[Mr Hockey]

All money is usually paid during the regular season, some guys getting $400 000+ bi weekly cheaques lol

 

[Daximus]

Bi-weekly, per-game cheque, I think isn't it?

 

[Seanaconda]

Bonuses are whenever they hit them I believe

 

[Daximus]

I heard they were usually subject to multiple state/provincial taxes as well depending on where they played.

Yeah they pay the tax of wherever the game is

 

[JT Kreider]

Bimonthly

 

[Daximus]

Bimonthly

They get paid every 2 months? I don't think so.

Bi-weekly or bi-monthly can both mean twice a week/month or every two weeks/months
I think you guys are meaning the same thing

Bi-weekly or bi-monthly can both mean twice a week/month or every two weeks/months

I just looked it up and you're right. Bi-weekly can mean twice per week or every two weeks. Bi-monthly the same. It actually depends on where you're from.

 

[Los Patos de Anaheim]

Weekly- Once per week
Bi-Weekly- Once every 2 weeks
Monthly- Once per month
Bi-Monthly- Once every 2 months
Semi-Monthly: Twice a month.

 

[Three On Zero]

Weekly- Once per week
Bi-Weekly- Once every 2 weeks
Monthly- Once per month
Bi-Monthly- Once every 2 months
Semi-Monthly: Twice a month.

Uhhhhh not even close

Bi-weekly means every second Friday (usually hourly rate employees)

Bi-monthly means on the 15th and 31st(unless changed due to holidays or shorter months and typically salary employees)

Yeah, gotta make it to Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con, isn't cheap.

 

[El Travo]

At the end of their contract. Wouldn't want them to taste the luxurious life of having food until they've been in the NHL for 3 years.

This is from the MLB but it might be of interest in this thread:

They get paid each year. Does that answer your question?

oceans HF. I'm in

 

[Beville]

Interesting, I always thought it would’ve been monthly myself. Didn’t realise they got taxed depending on where they played too.

 

[eternalbedhead]

Leave it to HF to get right on top of the whole quibbling-over-semantics thing.

Commonly referred to as the 'jock tax.' That's one of the means that cities and states get some of their money back from giving huge tax writeoffs to build arenas/stadiums. As much as I'm jealous of what pro athletes make, I'm glad that politicians haven't (yet) started taxing other professions like this.

So once every two weeks...

Bi-monthly means on the 15th and 31st(unless changed due to holidays or shorter months and typically salary employees)

Bi-monthly definitely means once every 2 months. I have taken the accounting and business pathway all 4 years of high school. I know what I'm talking about.

Actually, he's exactly right. Bi = Latin meaning two, Semi = Latin meaning half.
