pay changes

[labrat]

Just a heads up for my in law

 

He's been sent a letter stating that his his workplace is moving from weekly to monthly pay

 

As this is basicly going to mean a month of no pay he will not be able to survive financially (min wage job)

 

Any advice or suggestions?

[BankFodder]

Ask them to stagger it - begin 2 weeks for a month or two. Would that work?

[kjun]

Do you know what the pay date is liable to be?

 

We did this a few years ago where I worked with the full months salary paid on the 15th of the month so in essence two weeks behind and two weeks in advance if starting monthly pay from the first of the month.

 

This meant once the employees had been paid their week in hand in the first week of the month it would only be a week till they received a full month's salary.

Ask the employer whether there are any transitional arrangements for the change to occur smoothly. It would normally be customary to stagger the change (as BF says above) or to listen to the concerns of certain individuals who may be more affected than others and to agree something specific to their circumstances.

 

We did this for 200+ employees in the past and there were very few problems

[labrat]

Will ask him to propose the above

 

at the min the only option given is a loan to be payed back over 4 months which as hes living day to day isnt possible to pay back
