What typically happens to the first salary payment if a new hire joins very late in the month, close to the administrative deadline?

Answer

The first salary payout will be combined with the regular cycle for the following month.

If an employee joins too close to the end-of-month cutoff, or if mandatory onboarding paperwork is delayed, the administrative system often pushes the initial compensation into the next standard processing cycle.
