You might get your half month salary in advance, upon arrival. Check with your HR before you leave your home country.

Some of the companies pay 50% of your basic salary upon joining.

Why don't you check with your HR. Infact these kind of questions should be posed to HR not on some pubic forums.

It's like paying the rent BEFORE you can use the flat.

You get paid AFTER you have worked a certain period.. depending on the company they may pay you for part of the month, but most don't.

Is this the first job you've had ?

Why would you be paid before doing any work?. Very weird question. You will get your first salary after you have started working
