Payday at Christmas

Post by Stormproof »

Anyone know what day we will be getting paid at xmas/new year? Will it be the 24th/31st?
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

We were discussing this at our office the other day, normally when a public holiday falls on a Friday the payday is the day before so it will be the 24th and 31st as you say.

Our office are talking about a bonus ? how much is it likely to be and when/if will we get it, I'd love it to help out with presents and stuff, but somehow I can't see it being in the bank in time

You'll get the £100 (£75 after deductions) in a couple of weeks. I remember when the Christmas bonus was actually worth wetting one's knickers over, mind you, I am going back quite a few years now.
