      Congratulations on your new job!

      TBS means 'to be specified'
      TBC means 'to be confirmed'

      Your first pay day will be 4 weeks from the date you start work.

        Jonny - if I may address you in such a familiar manner - I have the feeling that
        Szajnerka is asking whether her induction day will be her first paid day of work
        - Szajnerka, "pay day" means the day when your wages are paid (probably by a
        wire transfer or some such), as opposed to your first "paid day", which is the
        day when your salary starts accruing.
        Personally, I believe the induction day should be your first paid day, if the
        company is half-decent about it...

          Johnatan and viking many thx for your advice. So my induction day
          isn't first pay day so it's mean that after induction days-after
          training as well I'll start work,I will be have paying for these
          working days only.

            Slow down, slow down...:)
            From what you're saying, I believe the company will start accruing your salary
            (or "counting your paid days") after your induction is complete, is that so? By
            "paid day" I mean just that, a day at work for which you get paid, as opposed to
            a day off without pay, for instance.
            "Pay day", on the other hand is the exact day when you are getting paid (every
            other Friday, for example, or some other regular time). In other words, then,
            you can work 10 "paid days" and then, on the eleventh day, will be "pay day",
            when they'll give you a cheque with your 10-days salary (or make a wire transfer
            to your bank account).
