Because the insurance deductions are set up to be taken out automatically one time a month, just like other deductions.(like conference club) Some consultants still don't have direct deposit, so they only get paid once a month - they don't have that mid-month payment on the 22nd.
So, in the interest of streamlining (and not having to keep track of who gets it taken out when) it's done on the one definite pay period for everyone. Plus the fact that something like 75% of shows get turned in the last two days of the month probably has something to do with it.
