so just been taken on by my local council where I was working via agency been told that a lie MONTH is required.
Familiar with the lie week but worked monthly pay before and never come across this, means in essence im going to go 8 weeks without pay
Just started with an employer that pays monthly, first time since 2005. Worked 2 weeks before they got their pay, Friday just gone. I got paid for the first week I worked and for time I’d spent there on interview/assessment. It would be pretty poor to go 2 months without money so they usually have some form of pay scheme to help out.
depends when you hit the cut off date for pay roll … you should only be out a few weeks …
Our lot were good I started on the 30th pay roll ran on the 15th for pay date the 23rd …
they should have a system in place to help you through the change over … ask them

Sorry m8 thats the norm,i think they will sort a sub out if you tell them the situation ,thats what i heard earwigging at work the other day 
yea they offer a sub but it means in first couple months your going to be on reduced wages paying that back. seems mad this is my 5th monthly paying job and first time iv encountered it iv missed out due to payroll dates and been made extra in 1st month but never this
