    firstly i would advice to notify Intreo that you started work.


    as payment goes if you started say Friday you would get paid for 4 days but since its Monday theoretically you should be cut off for any further payments,as collecting otherwise would land you owing them.

    no its calculated from a tuesday to tuesday basis, so from wednsday of this week until tuesday of next is calculated with sunday taken out, so thats 6 days pay with the monday and tuesday taken off because working so that leaves 4

    Ring your local intreo office and tell them you are starting work. They will explain how the days you are due will be paid. They posted me out a Cheque in the same circumstances

    Your SW payment stays in the post office all week, you can collect it on Saturday. Double check but Im pretty sure, like 100%. You have to sign off too.

    Congrats on getting a new job. Yes your entitled to 4 days. So if you give them a ring they can arrange it so you get the correct amount & you can collect up to Saturday in the post office or you can request they send you a cheque. If you don't let them know in enough time you will just be over paid by two days and they will send you a letter looking for repayment.
