    I'm about to start my first job out of college with a software company In The fair city of Dublin and was wondering what's the standard of how long i'll have to work in advance before I get that first wonderfull pay check. My part time job which I started yonks ago was a week but I've a bad feeling it's a month now. Does that mean It'll be two months before the first pay check?:eek:

    It depends on the company/terms of this employment...ask them perhaps?

    It depends when you start and when the company paydate is. For my job I didnt get paid for 6 odd weeks because someone ****ed up my pay and then tried to issue me a cheque that never came. However it didnt put me out to much. But I can understand if you are completely broke it could pose a problem.

    As said above it depends on the company. My last three jobs have had bi-weekly, weekly and monthly pay intervals respectively.

    If you are unlucky it will be monthly paid at the end of the month but calculated a week or two earlier on a date before you arrive. That could leave you with up to six week wait. You'd be very unlucky to end up with a longer wait than that.

    One thing I normally do when I change job is to get my new employers PAYE registered number and ring the tax office to notify them of it. I think the paper form equivalent is called form 12A. It'll speed up the process of getting your tax credits sorted out and avoid emergency tax. My experience of employers is that they generally don't tell new employees to do this resulting the inexperienced not noticing until full emergency tax kicks in.
