paydays

Workers await these

Paydays is the plural of payday—the day when wages or salary are distributed.

For many workers, paydays arrive weekly or biweekly: I can't afford it until after paydays stack up a bit.

Figuratively, a payday is any significant financial reward: prizefighters chasing big paydays.
