I'm going to guess that you didn't know about this thread before you signed up for Arik?
Good luck. I'm not sure why they pay some people and not others. This is another one of the many ongoing pay problems at Arik. It has gotten better than it has been for the past 6 months, but I doubt it will ever be like what you expect back in your home country.
I hope you're able to find a job that you enjoy.
