We get paid Friday at 12am, so is the Friday included in our paypacket or is it Friday to Thursday?

This may sound like an obvious question but I would like to know

Along with any overtime from previous week. Or the week before or the week before that or the week before that..........if your office is like ours for short paying your overtime, then continually getting the arrears for what your owed, if you're lucky.

Yes it is a bit bizarre but they do pay us two days in advance every week.

It's not that unusual. I used to be paid monthly roughly two weeks in arrears and two in advance (payday was the 15th). Before that I was paid weekly on the Friday for the period Mon-Sun (as per RM). I've had other jobs where either a day or two has been in advance or a week or so if monthly paid.

We get paid Friday for the previous week (Monday-Sunday). All the overtime etc must be logged by Monday morning so it can be processed tuesday/wednesday and paid by BACS on Thrusday to be in our account by Friday.

It's the current week. We are not paid our wages in arrears. Only overtime is paid in arrears.

we get paid at 12am Friday which would mean everything before then is paid for, but what if you work the Friday and Saturday? are these 2 days included in the following week payslip or paid in advance?

Paid in advance.
