Paycheck and Activity awards are similar to each other - they both get applied at the same time, but to get the activity award they need to meet your criteria for 'active', which is a setting in the award options.

So if they have [posted, logged in, searched, etc - depends on your setting] at least once during the time period, it counts. At the end of the time period and the start of another period, it checks if the person was active during the previous period, and awards accordingly. Note that if you have the Activity award selected in the applicable negation awards setting (also in awards options), then if they DONT qualify as active, the user will get (award amount) * (negation multiplier). Normally that would mean for a -1.5 negation multiplier and a 10 credit award, being inactive means you LOSE 15 credits :-p This was the old default until i made it optional. You may or may not want to do that so I am just letting you know.

When it actually happens is on a rolling basis starting from when you first installed the hack. I understand this can kinda be a little weird, so controls for adjusting the dates will be in the next major release.
