Should I ask for a full years Salary?

What's wrong with getting paid weekly? The amount of money you seem to be losing out is quite a lot. If the issue isn't resolved and you aren't satisfied, I would leave professionally and not burn any bridges along the way.

Dude, you're not making less... it is just spread out differently. There aren't 4 weeks in a month... it is like 4.3, on average. So, some months you will get four paychecks... and then two months you will actually get 5.

They aren't screwing you over.

EDIT: You even stated that they gave you extra up front on the transition...

I have been through several pay arrangement transitions and they were the opposite direction and would be more difficult to deal with. It isn't that big of a deal, but you do need to sit down and adjust your spending situation. I went from being paid bi-weekly to monthly on two occasions. One time I moved from monthly to semi-monthly. Since I always arrange my payments around the dates, it is an adjustment, but I never looked at it as being screwed over, because I wasn't, and neither are you.

As a matter of fact, you may end up having the opportunity to make more money.

@DexterPark - I hope that you were able to resolve your issue with your employer. It sounds like you are in the US and if so, I would find it odd that your employer won't simply adjust your total compensation without a discussion or disclosure of such.

I tend to agree with some of the other forum members that your best course of action may be to simply discuss it with your manager, HR, or payroll. It seems like there is a probability that it's simply a misunderstanding.

Payroll can sometimes get more complicated than it needs to be. And it's usually just a misunderstanding.

I can recall that a few years ago, I received a monthly net-pay of about 10 bucks. And when I took a closer look at it, it was actually correct because of a tax withholding error from several months earlier.
