If my husband normally gets paid on the last working day of the month...

[moneyworries8]

Then what date will his December pay go in?

The 31st is a Monday but I'm wondering if it may hit his bank account early?

Money is tight (hence the username 😏) so we're literally counting the days now.

Thanks.

I think you will have to work on it going in on 31st as it's a normal working day, sorry.

The employer will normally inform you if pay will be earlier in December. NYE is still a working day I think

Everywhere I’ve ever worked had an early payday in December. It’s on Wednesday 19th this year. But you’d be informed if this was the case. Could he not give payroll a quick call?

I get paid on the last working day, and will be paid on the 31st as it's a normal working day. Sorry I know that's probably what you wanted to hear.

My husband is being paid on the 20th this year ( I think) which is ridiculously early ( normally last working day. I appreciate why but it just makes January seem longer till payday

I get paid on the last day of the month and it will be the 31st

*not

Stupid auto correct

I didn't explain that well at all, sorry. His pay day isn't being brought forward this month unfortunately. I just wondered if with their being bank holidays around that time, if it would end up coming in maybe before the weekend. Sounds as though that won't be the case 😔 thanks all.

If you budget for it going in any earlier January will be an extremely long month.

It may hit earlier, lots of businesses when I used to work in banking paid on 16th in December.

Good luck

If it's last working day, then - unless you are specifically told differently - it will be the 31st.

TBH, a lot of companies do traditionally pay early, but (and it's a big but) Universal Credit has also changed that policy for quite a few.

Paying early is supposed to be a bit of perk for the staff; it's not, if it fucks them over in January by having them earn too much in the Dec pay period and therefore stopping their claim!

I used to work in treasury for a large company. We paid on or around the 20th of December to ensure any issues could be resolved and so that we only needed a skeleton staff over Christmas. It meant January was a long month however !

Unless you hear otherwise I’d assume it’ll be the 31st - sorry.

I’m paid 31st but it goes in on midnight last working day before so I think there’s a chance mine will be available from the Sat ( though it shows up on a statement still as 31st) and I can withdraw from it. I wouldn’t advise depending on that though

I’ve already been paid my December pay packet...January will be a very long month indeed.

OP, if money is tight could DH ask work to bring it forward this month? Companies are normally understanding with December being an expensive month.

I used to hate getting paid early for Xmas, made January a long month.

I get paid 4 weekly now. So next pay day is 4th Jan.

My husbands getting paid this Friday crazy crazy early. Going to have to put it in another account till the end of the month 😂

Yes, as the 31st is a normal working day it will go in on the 31st.

Mi d is in on 21st and i’m No I got all out to another account till the end of the month. The 31st is a normal working day so if his pay is confirmed as 31st that’s when it’ll arrive.
