Weekly, biweekly, monthly, and semimonthly are all common; In most states, there are rules setting minimum frequency (and sometimes regulating on what days as well as frequency), and they may vary by industry and job type. E.g., for California: https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/faq_paydays.htm

I believe biweekly (or semimonthly, which is very similar) are more common than the others, at least in tech.
