Hey thanks for the thought mafu, however another symptom of being an "adult" is having enough cash put aside to cover more than one weeks commitments.

I remember being in your position though. Bugger aye!

There is law that says you have to have your money before holidays start.....I paid out holiday pay 22nd Dec and then went back into work today to pay the ones that did not elect to get all money up front, our next pay day is Jan 1st, useless cos effectively if I pay then the money wont be available till 4th Jan......very frustrating when employers dont pay on time.....

Yeah my pay was late but didn't really effect anything, I have everything in advance or ahead of payment requirements so even if I miss one or two payments I am still ahead

[Swoop]

Nope.

we all got paid early... but then i work for the bank.....
but i did have business' calling me asking when money would go places if it was transferred on certain dates and i guess i felt bad for some that would not get funds till the wednesday.... but then, its not the first public holidays we have come across so you would hope employers would be a little proactive about accuracy and timing.... (but then, we dont live in a perfect world ay)
(but then again.. benefits etc all got paid 3 or 4 days early!! some people love aunty helen)

nope its not a perfect world .. & sum of those on a benefit would have spent it .. then be back to winz for emergency benefits this week ..seen them lined up waiting outside on wed morning

[Nicksta]

your right on that one Chanceyy, lots had to alter payments due out cos they couldnt help themselves and drew out the cash that came in early..... but then some applied in advance for the emergency one cos they knew they would be in trouble... and got declined and told to apply when they were in emergency status... not before.....

Your employer is legally bound to pay you prior to a Stat Holiday if your normal pay day falls on a Stat.

They broke the law. Kick their arse.

our normal apy is wednesday but it didnt come throught till tuesaday. it really sucked

[pervert]

Best way to get around it is to have enough cash in your account to not care when your pay appears...

[James Deuce]

"Sucked" isn't the word for it mate. However while I agree that it is terrible, your employer or may not be aware that they are required to pay you prior to a Statutory holiday. Your normal pay day sounds like it didn't even fall on a Statutory holiday.

Are you saying you got paid nearly a week late? With no agreement between you and your employer? If so that is most definitely not on from a legal perspective.

However going legal on your employer's arse may not be the best course of action. Have you asked what happened?

I got paid early, sweet.
A company I used to work for paid you like 8wks in advance on Xmas eve, as well as your holiday pay, what a hassle that was.

Yeah! I totally agree with Jim2! They've broken the law!

I got paid early due to this fact. Of course it means I don't get paid again until the 10th Jan (I get paid fortnightly) so I have makde sure I don't blow it before then!
