Can't see why it wouldn't be 27th as it's not a holiday day.

Doest it make any difference? We are getting paid weekly anyway so I assume we are getting paid on the 20th anyway.

In a normal banking week, as we are paid on a Friday each week, Payroll will submit all our pay, via the banking network, on the preceding Tuesday (includes overtime from the previous week), as it takes the banks, three bank working days to process the data (pay slips).

Thus, due to the Xmas bank holidays, Payroll will now be submitting their data to the banking network on the preceding Friday (so all that weeks overtime will not be included and will be added to the following weeks pay).

Hope that helps.
