A bit worried

Curerntly i am salaried and have accepted a job offer to start 8th Feb - however this is hourly paid!

I'm handing my notice in at my current place on Payday (this weds) so they do not stop my salary for this month. I know i'll then have to fight for my weeks notice pay and also my week in hand they took from my first wage, which should be paid at the end of feb.

I've just suddenly realised that as i will then be hourly paid in the new job, most places have a cut off date half way through the month for payroll - which inevitably means i may only get 1 weeks wage in my first month (end of feb). Does that sound about right!??

I'm now really worried as my wage is the only wage we have coming in. Dp is not entitled to benefits, we run our own business although he takes no drawings at the moment, as there isn't the money there too and it's a LTD company!

I'm really in a tizz about this now....

Can anyone help

mmm think most places now have a cut off date of only a few days b4 payday as wages are processed 3 days before so you may not have that low a pay depending on your start date but i guess you would really have to ask your new boss for advice on this one so you can sort your finances to last you

Our place pays us on the 26th of the month for all the work we did in that month up until that date, so you might be OK. If they're a reasonable company they might also let you have a little advance on next month's pay to tide you over. I did that in my previous job. It means you would get a bit less next month, though. I would talk to them as soon as possible, I am sure they will help you out. Good luck 🙂
