Can someone please explain how this works?

I start a new on May 16th... Pay day is on the last day of every month.

Will I be among those who receive payment on the last day of May?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, i think it just means the checks or transfers are paid into the account on the last day of every month (except weekends)
 
Hmmmm 28th would seem like a reasonable cut off point.

Would it be silly if I were to contact them and ask?

28th would seem extremely late considering you're paid on the last day of the month. Most firms I have worked for cut off around the 10th for a payday of the 28th.

Edit: And no, not silly at all for you to ring and ask.

Our cut off is the 6th of the month for last working day payment!
 
I've no idea if this info will be help you at all but my firm pays on the last day of the month and the 15th of the month is the cut off day, getting any claims/OT forms in etc.

I'm having a stupid moment. Forgive me!

What would happen if I joined your firm after the cut-off point? I'd only be paid for the work I done between the 7th and last day of that month?

My understanding of this is if you joined after the cutoff point you wouldnt receive any pay in that month.

If the cut off is the 6th, you'd get paid at the end of the following month.

This is what concerns me.... Surley no firm would have you wait two months to get paid?! This never happened with my current employer.... I was pay for the work I had done up to the date of payment. I recall receiving a few hundred pounds.

I've just called my recruitment agent. He believe (sounded very confident) that I'd be for the work I've done in May. So from the 16th to the 31st.

This is how I thought I'd be paid. However, I've never heard anyone class this as being paid in arreas.

If your on a salary, you will get paid at the end of the month (in arrears), hourly paid or timesheet work may be different. Most companies, all but one, I have worked for pay in arrears, you get paid for work in the previous period. One paid for work in the next period at the start of the month, this is rare.

You would get paid from 7th - last day in the following month, along with the that following months pay.
 
Okay lets not use the term in arreas. You join a firm in the middle of the month. Will you receive payment (at the end of the month) for the work you've done so far?
 
As a lot of people have already said - it depends on how the company, when their payroll cutoff is and whether they can do exception payments outside the main run.
 
Again, are you salaried? If so it is easy to calculate and the payment department will have worked out your first payment as soon as you start work, % of month worked, tax, pension and other benefits, to be paid at month end.

If you work irregular hours, it may be you would get Aprils pay at the end of May, Mays in June etc.
