Couple Q's regarding pay

Post by SP115 »

Hi,

Could you tell me when the cutoff is for the weekly pay? And if I do overtime on the Saturday, Will this show in next Fridays pay? When do we get payslips, Do they come through the post?

Cheers

you get paid for the week you are in.

Sat overtime, should be included in next week pay if your DIM has signed it off in time

payslips will be delivered to you by post on Thursdays normally.

Oh, So theres no week in hand? I was wondering why I'd been payed today and only started on Monday :D

Cheers for the info.

Next question, Working tax credits.. As I'm only on a 24 hour contract (single guy 25+ needs to avg 30 hrs to be eligable for it) I actually have done 29 hours this week, I'd like to think I can average at least 30+ hours (most weeks)

Do you guys claim it? 30 hrs @ £8.58 - £13,300 gross PA and the ceiling earnings for tax credits is 15.5k PA IIRC?
