Pay date

Seanachai · 29-09-2016 3:26pm #1

Do people here that get paid monthly get paid on the last Friday of the month or on a set date every month?

MarkR · 29-09-2016 3:27pm

I get paid on the 26th of each month. If the 26th is on a weekend, it would be the Friday before.

Ghekko · 29-09-2016 3:28pm

Set date and has been the way in every job I've had.

afatbollix · 29-09-2016 3:28pm

I get paid on the last working day of the month. So if that day falls over a weekend I get paid on the Friday.

hairyslug · 29-09-2016 3:31pm

Changes from month to month, in the last week but it could be the 23rd or the 30th or anywhere in between

lapua20grain · 29-09-2016 3:33pm

On the 30th of each month and if it's on a weekend the Friday before.

timmy880 · 29-09-2016 3:49pm

Always got paid monthly. In my last job it was the last day of the month. In my current job it's the 25th of every month.

Crunchymomma · 29-09-2016 5:31pm

I get paid on the last thursday of every month

livedadream · 29-09-2016 6:32pm

Same here 28th of the month, it's that's a weekend it's paid the Friday.

Carlosthejakal · 29-09-2016 6:36pm

28th of the month, if it falls on a bank holiday or weekend we get paid on the Friday.
At Christmas we get paid 23rd

Harvey Normal · 29-09-2016 6:37pm

Last day of the month.

30-09-2016 9:04am

Set date

30-09-2016 9:05am

Set date also.

If set date falls on a weekend, it'll be there on the Friday

Smokers and Jokers? · 30-09-2016 9:08am

Third Friday of every month.

seamus · 30-09-2016 9:08am

My experience is that the last banking day of the month or the 25th of the month (or the next banking day), are the standard.

Mrs OBumble · 30-09-2016 9:21am

My last gig was the last working Thursday of the month. My next one is on a set date - no idea yet what they do if that's a weekend or holiday.

The J Stands for Jay · 30-09-2016 9:24am

15th of the month, Friday before if it falls on the weekend or a bank holiday.

lollpop · 30-09-2016 9:46am

Second last working day of the month (working day being mon-fri excluding BHs) so the actual date varies.

zl1whqvjs75cdy · 30-09-2016 9:48am

23 rd of the month

Seanachai · 30-09-2016 2:24pm

I get paid on the last Friday at the moment, it means that it can be five weeks between pay dates sometimes, six at Christmas because we get paid early. There's a petition to change it to the 28th of each month, it was first proposed over a year ago but they are saying that it's a big operation for the payroll company. I thought it would just involve some changes in payroll software.

Hollister11 · 30-09-2016 2:28pm

When I was in retail it was always Thursday paid on a back week.

Avatar MIA · 30-09-2016 2:33pm

Getting paid every second Friday FTW!

mahoganygas · 30-09-2016 2:36pm

Interestingly if you get paid every Thursday(like teachers, and SW recipients) you got an extra pay cheque in 2015.

Both 1st Jan 2025 and 31st Dec 2015 fall on a Thursday meaning there were 53 pay periods instead of the usual 52.

It was estimated to cost an additional €200m to run the country because of this quirk in the calendar.

No it didn't. This quirk happens regularly. BTW, teachers get paid fortnightly.

pilly · 30-09-2016 2:52pm

Various different variation of monthly pay, it's all down to when you're employer does the payroll basically.

Bandana boy · 30-09-2016 2:53pm

First Friday after the 14th every month

The_Conductor · 30-09-2016 4:19pm

Last Thursday of the month.

MHickman · 02-10-2016 10:22am

Last Friday of every month. That's the day it leaves the Company's account - as I bank elsewhere it's often the Monday before I actually get it.

Birdsong · 02-10-2016 12:06pm

25th of Month now, or the Friday if the 25th is the weekend.

Was the last Thursday of the month, much prefer the set day.

.G. · 02-10-2016 12:52pm

Every week

I've turned down jobs cos they paid monthly. Ridiculous carry on.

02-10-2016 2:42pm

I get paid monthly but in the middle of the month. Last job was on the 28th or the previous closest working day if the 28th was a weekend.

Pretty random, but it's the third Wednesday of the month. It's a total pain. We regularly have 5 weeks between paydays

Pretty clear he's wondering why the poster thinks it's ridiculous....
As am I ? Most large companies do it

seamus · 03-10-2016 1:22pm

In most industries you'd very quickly find yourself painted into a career-limiting corner if you only ever accept jobs that pay weekly. I'm guessing our friend is either self-employed or a tradesman.

Unearthly · 03-10-2016 2:24pm

Get paid every 4 weeks. Works out at 13 pay periods a year and one month you get paid twice

I was in a job and they did that, it was handy the 4 to 5 week difference now is a pain in the hole
