Bank Holiday and wages
Discussion
Hi All,
My girlfriend started a new job a few months ago but has gone into work today to find out that her december wages are going to be paid a day late.
She is normally paid on the 28th of each month but as it is the "Boxing day bank holiday" this year, her employers are saying she will get paid the day after? I thought they had to bring it forward not put it back? What if she had direct debits that go out on the 29th of the month?
The company is a medium sized residential care provider.
Thanks,
Matt.

Silver993tt,
I am sorry but what is so wrong about my question? We do not have access to credit so easily and with it being Xmas, i have only ever been paid early rather than late.
I wish we could afford to go out once a month, but we are not that well off.
Thanks.
If you have contract that says you will get paid on the 28th and the company can't fulfil that part of the contract then I think it's fair to feel a little aggrieved.
In this instance I'd expect to be paid on the 24th, and it's what I would do for my employees.
In fact, in every place where I have been an employee we've always been paid early in December. In one place they even paid us early in January as well so there wasn't such a long gap between December and January pay days.

Is this some kind of wind up? What the hell difference does one day make to getting paid? Get an overdraft for a day? If you're that skint, don't eat out or go out for a weekend or two.
Grow up and join the real world. I've had to wait up to 18 months to get invoices paid.
Tough old world isn't it?
