Erm...
Pensions are paid on the 16th of the month, or on the preceding Friday if it falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Bank holiday. That principle has now been extended to staff, who get paid on the 15th.
I quote relevant bits of the
Ariel article:-
"The BBC has announced that salaries are to be paid in advance, when the 15th of the month is a Saturday, Sunday or bank holiday."
........
"'BBC employees get paid on 15th of the month, and if that falls on a bank holiday or a weekend, it currently moves to the next working day. We have agreed that when this occurs in future, we will now pay employees beforehand rather than afterwards.
'August 2015 is the next month where this applies and salaries will therefore now be paid on Friday 14 August instead of Monday 17 August."
Or are you suggesting we get paid on the 15th?!
