When do you get paid your Christmas wage?

Two friends this week have told me they get paid their wage when they finish work for Christmas (one tomorrow and one on Monday)
I get paid at the end of the month as always
I didn’t realise this was a thing?

Tomorrow. Normally on the 25th, so it'll be 5 weeks until the next one. I try to pretend that it isn't there

I work at a school and we always get paid a few days earlier in December.

Both get paid on Monday, 5 days early for me and 8 days early for DH.
Makes January horribly long.

It’s helpful now. A disaster in January. When you realise you have to stretch this months pay for 6 weeks

Tomorrow then back to the 28th
of the month. DH always gets paid around now. I try not to touch it for a week.

Today but I’m pretty sure this is the only job I’ve had where I got it early. I don’t particularly want or need it early but it’ll be so the company director can forget we all exist for the next fortnight.

I just get paid every 2 weeks. Unless Christmas happens to fall on payday, we just get paid as normal.

Incorgnito · 19/12/2024 22:48

Tomorrow.

Last working day of the month.

Tomorrow, so then it's six weeks until the next payday

@GCAcademic It gives you extra over christmas if needed…but can be dangerous as January will be hard!
So this is a normal thing?

We get paid on the 20th every month, for the whole month, so that stays the same at Christmas.

Orangelight23 · 19/12/2024 22:47

Last working day of the month as always.

We got paid yesterday, a week early. I hate it, it’s a long time until the next pay day.
