If you are working, you must be looking forward to the payday. In Japan usually there is only one payday in a month. Depends on where you are working, the date is different. From my experience, they were either 16th or 18th or 25th.
Nowadays there are many working styles, such as sei shain(正社員：regular employee), keiyaku shain(契約社員：contract staff), haken shain(派遣社員：temporary staff), paato (パート：part timer), arubaito (アルバイト：albite). Sei shain is paid by month and has a chance of promotion. Keiyaku shain is usually one year contract with a possibility of renewal up to three years. Haken shain, arubaito, and paato are usually paid by hour.
In the salary there are basic payment, commutation allowance and additional payment such as overtime pay, housing allowance, family allowance, and so on. But employment insurance, health care insurance, nursing care insurance, social security pension, and income tax are deducted automatically.
Cash payments were popular until early 1990's, but these days companies send money to each bank account of their employees and give them just a list.
