If an employer didn’t pay you in error is it unreasonable to request same day payment?

Dh started a new job a few months a go, last month he didn’t get paid as he had to do a month in hand which has been totally rubbish during summer holidays. Normal pay date is 28th but was told by the manager he would be paid today 27th because 28th is a Saturday, dh hasn’t been paid. I’m not sure if they have forgotten to pay him or if it will be 4 days late because of the weekend and bank holiday? He hasn’t been given a payslip so can’t even look on that for information, normally I would email them from dh as he works nights so is asleep but the company is closed today to give everyone a 4 day weekend so can’t check until Tuesday. I am hoping it is just late due to the bank holiday or something like that and not that they have forgotten to pay him otherwise it will be another week with no income as it takes 4 working days to hit your account which will make it Monday 6th September. If they have forgotten to pay him would we be cheeky to request a bank transfer or fast chaps payment as a one off?

He started 1/7 and hasn't been paid at all yet?!

On a month in hand he should have been paid end July, surely? He's now 2 months in hand and counting!

I agree with the month in hand working as people above have said. You work a month and get paid at the end of it, not two months.

Month in hand is another way of saying paid in arrears rather than in advanced. There is no reason as to why he should not have been paid at the end of July.

No reason he can't ask them.

@JacketSpud55 Did your DH get this sorted?

He got kind of got it sorted as he knows why he wasn’t paid, they forgot to add him to pay roll! The payroll lady is part time and not in until Thursday now so they couldn’t do a payment today. He has been promised it will be sorted out Thursday but doesn’t know if he will get paid Thursday or if it will the standard 4 days later.

Now I really hoping he doesn’t get emergency taxed this month as that would just be the icing on the cake. He also questioned if he should of been paid at the end of July as well and nobody seemed to know for certain, so that will also be sorted on Thursday.

@JacketSpud55 How frustrating and unnecessary. I hope it gets sorted soon and doesn't leave you in any difficulties as a result. I hope they've been suitably apologetic?
