    Do you people budget your wages down to the nearest second or is it really that much of an inconvenience if your pay is a day late?
    Well now... look who's loaded! :pac:

    Its not really about budgeting, some of us have direct debits set up to automatically come out on the last day of the month & therefore are charged if there is insufficient funds to meet these payments. It can be pretty costly for some people if their wages dont arrive on time to meet these DD's

    Well tbh I'd imagine that the unions lobbying the employers to take their business from BOI would be more effective than them lobbying BOI directly. Of course if the unions have their accounts with BOI then a threat to bank elsewhere might have some impact.

    If a trade union tried to tell us (or any other corporate) who to do our banking with they'd be swiftly told to FRO.

    You people sicken me!

    Anyway im sure some run their finances that way and im sure others dont, thats usually what we find when we look at a group of people.
    Would you be so surprised that people might operate their finances in such a way that they expect to get paid on eh payday?

    Maybe just concern that it's a problem isolated to the individual ?

    Who do you think has the time during the working day to keep boards afloat?

    we used to have the same, now we have them all coming out 2/3 days after pay day otherwise this stuff was stressing us out,

    since then even if boi have it late in we still meet our DD's.

    Seems like a risky business to set up your direct debits for the exact day you get paid.

    Yes it is an inconvenience...peoplemhave bills and mortgages and I'm sorry, we don't all have the money to mmet our bills as we rely on our wages being in and on time. I really think you don't get it..


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,681 ✭✭✭✭P_1

    No but quite a lot of people have their bills set up to go out the same day as they get paid and unfortunately if there is a delay in the wages coming in then the bills will either go unpaid or they go into an unexpected overdraft.

    On a practical level it might be worthwhile for people to maybe change the days that their DDs and SOs leave their account to a day or two later to avoid having this kind of scenario repeating itself.

    With most direct debits you don't get the choice..it's the banks or utility providers etc. who decide when the debit come sout and you've no say in it.

    Mmm. Apparently a lot of outfits in Ireland run payroll at the end of the month, with many people's mortgages and similar falling due on the first. This is a fine line, too fine. Which is probably why many American companies here fire the payroll about a week before month's-end.

    Seems risky business for your employer not to pay you as per your contract.

    Which is why I don't use them. I think they have a bloody cheek expecting access to my current account to "dip in" when and to the amount that suits them.

    Phone up and ask. Most will allow you to change your billing schedule no problem.

    SEPA gives you some protection on that now.

    You can demand that any DD be refunded for up to 8 weeks after is taken, and the bank is obliged by law to return the funds to you.

    I find it hard to believe that other people find it hard to believe that people actually might need their wages on payday.

    I'd love to give that a try, but I have to attack a lunatic asylum with a banana shortly. After that, I think I might shave my head with a cheesegrater.

    Ah but yasee Ah has an occasional anti civil\public service bias at times.. Seems to be a let's not pay the nurses or guards.. Yano leave the people who make this country work unpaid..

    New rules since February, its actually very simple.

    But if people want to bury their head in the sand and ignore the protections that have been built into the system for them then that's their business :rolleyes:

    Is that better? :D

    I don't think they actually find it hard to believe, I think it's more a case of trying to embarrass those that need it [rollseyes at the bullies]
