Good Morning, 

my process, dates and timeline was the exact same. I am new to the family, start 10/3, from Atlanta as a part-time ramp agent. I’m so excited

I applied around September 7 and took the interview around  September 9. I got the offer after the interview and around September 14 i did the Sterling information, Fingerprint and Drug test. Right now i'm just waiting for the heads up from the management and i'm going to submit my 2 weeks notice in my current workplace. Hopefully by first week of October i'll receive some news about my starting day.

If you cannot go a few paychecks without the money, do not submit your 2 weeks notice yet. You still need to get your start date, and you still have to sign your official offer letter. It wasnt long after my background cleared that I got a start date, but it was a month and a half away. I highly suggest waiting.

I’ve been meaning to ask, how often or when are southwest employees paid? Is there a specific date or week? And how soon after starting would I receive my first paycheck? Thanks in advance!

We get paid on the 5th and 20th of every month. My first day was on the 4th, so I made the cut off for payday on the 20th. That was my first check. There are no delays if you get your pay set up as soon as you can.
