to think companies changing pay day should pay extra the month before not after

[m0therofdragons]

Dh's pay day is changing by 10 days soon. It means 10 days unpaid that he apparently gets back as extra in his next pay. This will mean dh will pay extra pension and student loan so take home will be less plus we have to change are direct debits in a summer month when we are especially busy - children home from school etc.
Overall it's annoying, but my main issue is why can't they give the extra 10 day pay the month before the change so you are covered for it? All of dh's salary goes on bills and food so there isn't any spare and taking money out of savings (not that we have much) would affect the isa interest. Just grrrrr

The reason they do it he month after is to stop people pocketing the money. Leaving. And not paying it back. But it's no help to you (or probably everyone else either)

Also planning dd2 and dd3's birthday parties that month and it's our wedding anniversary (kind of a special one) but will have to delay going out for nice meal - yes I know a company can't plan around my key dates but let me vent :)

He has to give 4 weeks notice so they would know in advance if he was leaving.

I can totally understand why you are frustrated - I would be too. Most companies pay in arrears though, I don't think you'd find many who would pay you before you do the work.

At least they have given you a couple of months warning, I suppose, so you can start to prepare. It would be worse if you were totally unaware of the change.

My company moved the pay date recently by 8 days and they offered to pay and charges incurred due to late payments/missed DDs etc if anyone needed it

Surely the sensible thing would be to pay on both pay days?

So say it was the 1st of the month and it was moving to the 11th. You would get paid for the work done in May on the 1st of June as normal. Then on the 11th of June, you would get paid for the 1st-10th June. Then 11th July get paid for a full month as normal. That way you have the 10 days pay given to you on the 11th June to buy food etc at the end of June/start of July when your month's pay has run out and you still have 10 days to go till payday. But no one gets paid for work they haven't yet done.

I am salaried get paid on or before the 22nd for the whole month
