Salary payment as a working student only in the following month?
Hello, I have been working as a student employee for a long time and have experience in two different companies.
Salaries were always paid in the middle of the following month, so the salary for May was not paid until mid-June.
I find this only partially understandable, and it's also difficult to calculate. So I'm wondering whether this is generally true or whether it depends on the industry.

Yes, that's normal.
Many companies only have one payment run. If there are employees who are paid hourly without a fixed salary, this has to be accounted for, and that takes time. Accounting can't do magic.
Well, it's not difficult to calculate. You know how much you've worked each time, and you just have to wait two weeks longer in the first case. From then on, your salary will come regularly every month. It's just on the 15th instead of the 30th/31st.
The accounting department finds this understandable because they need a certain amount of lead time for salary payments and don't create a separate payroll run for you. If you're paid in the middle of the month and you start on the first day, it's normal that you won't be paid until six weeks later.
Regarding the lead time: Our accounting department (we pay around 500 employees) needs all relevant data by the 6th of each month because the billing processes are so complicated and simply take time.
What is to be calculated… it is stated in the employment contract – wages are paid on the 15th of the following month
In working life it is just like that – first performance, then money
