DPs Work keep reporting wages early

OK I know I'm not U on this one but what the heck can I do
We receive a small amount of uc. Dps work have now twice reported his wages early
Last month he was paid on the 30th but was reported on the 28th meaning it affected our assessment period on uc

This month he is due to get paid on the 31st, so tomorrow but it was already reported as paid on Friday so affected us again!

Dp says the lady that deals with the pay is only there once or twice a week so difficult to get a hold of and he doesn't seem enthusiastic to keep bothering them about this but we've now lost hundreds of pounds and the stress is really starting to get to me.

I know its his work and I can't get involved but what the heck can I do or do I just accept they'll continue to do this and mess up our uc

He needs to go to HR as well as payroll and be really clear that they can’t do this. Maybe get a letter from your UC person to explain how much has been lost due to their false reporting, because it is false reporting.

Even so it should still say the 31st as the pay date but it doesn't, it says the 28th
He will be paid on the last working day of the month

Is it because they can't do a payroll run on a weekend?
Our pay day is the third Friday of the month, so often a different date.
