Re: Old fashoned weekly pay / wages
The majority of the workforce, myself included, are against being paid monthly.
RM would prefer to move us away from weekly,

Change for change sake. If it works why try and fix it? Changing from weekly to monthly causes cash flow problems for many leading to taking out pay day loans from high St loan sharks.

Re: Old fashoned weekly pay / wages
While we are paid weekly if our OT is incorrect it takes a couple of weeks to get the correct amount paid (sometimes more, as is happening to me currently). If we got switched to monthly pay the OT underpayments would drag on for months, and with some people doing 30, 40 hours a month OT management can easily keep shafting them of a few hours hoping they won't notice....
(On a side note it would break the maximum legal time to be paid for work done (a month or so?) and therefore RM would break employment laws by dragging week A's OT over 3 or 4 months)

I've done jobs in the past where I was paid monthly. I'll take weekly pay over monthly any time.

Re: Old fashoned weekly pay / wages
It's hard enough trying to keep on top of any overtime your DOM has forgotten to put through on a weekly basis so not a hope anyone would wish to be paid monthly by RM.

Probably a cost saving to the employer with monthly pay. I wouldn't be at all surprised if monthly pay is buried in a future agreement.

Re: Old fashoned weekly pay / wages
Never! Hopefully. I don't know one person that would want monthy pay over weekly. Monthy pay gets too many people into debts they can't afford.Gold Fox wrote:Weekly pay is old fashioned , when will we get monthly salary?

It's hard enough working out if the DOM's ripped us off on OT on a weekly basis, monthly would be one big cluster&£@/Gold Fox wrote:Weekly pay is old fashioned , when will we get monthly salary?

Its easier for an employer to have monthly pay, almost 4 times less admin.....

Maybe in the old days but most of payroll is automated now, It would save on payslips but that's about it.sophie97 wrote:Its easier for an employer to have monthly pay, almost 4 times less admin.....
