For 52 weeks we're still looking at $3.85 for 10 days and $3.46 for 9 days, as mentioned, which still leaves me curious about the weird amount. My friend told me 50 was normal, and I didn't really think about it.
$5 pay pal bounty posted below.

I've worked 9 days at a summer job so far (weekdays from 6/2 to 6/14). My offer letter indicates $100 per year. I would expect this to be calculated using 50 work weeks, for $2 per week, or 40c per day. I got my first pay stub today, which says it's for the pay period 6/1-6/15 (I started on 6/2). The gross amount on the pay stub was $3.77
I would have expected either $3.60 for 9 days or $4.00 for 10 days, depending if the pay stub includes the 15th or not.
I can't seem to figure out how $3.77 could be the correct gross amount. Do you think I'm likely being paid at a higher rate (ie $3.77 per 9 days) or a lower rate (for 10 days) than the offer letter listed? Is it worth it to ask about it?
In other news, taxes are a pain =P
Thanks.
