Tupe salary question

I am afraid to say it might depend on whether you are wearing the natty new uniform or not.

It also will depend if they back pay at a following date to correct, or indeed, if anyone has informed them of the previous payment dates.

No, they were perpetually paying you a week early before. They are now just paying you nearer to when the working period is complete.

That is not how it works though. When we joined, if we joined two weeks before pay day then they would only pay us for those weeks. We didn't get any money up front.

Our salary was on the 24th and then they moved it to the 30th. that is one weeks pay that we are missing out on. Seems like it might have been the first company job to pay us for that week. As the tupe date was the last day of december. And we were pay rolled 24-24 so they gone and shorted us a week.

This happened to me once when I got Tupe'd. If the new company has taken you on with your original terms and conditions then your pay dates should stay the same unless they ask you to change over to theirs.

I would have a world with your new contract manager ref this issue. ;)
 
I don't work for free and to make it worse they had the nerve of deducting a days full pay because i was over my 10 day 12 month allowance. haha, mean while they owe me 500. Which is even funny when the new company has a 60 day allowance. Right so they deduct for sick pay from previous company but fail to pay the 5 days between the date change.

The question is if you start two weeks in to the month say 15th do they pay you up to the end of the month or up to the 25th. If they pay you up to the 30th then they are fine, if they pay up to the 25th then they owe us money.

So, the point of your post is? Seems like you have decided you are right, not told us the full story, and will disagree with anyone who doesn't blindly support your position.

What was the point of the topic?

If you have been underpaid a week, you have been underpaid a week. If you just changed pay date, you have just changed pay date. It's not rocket science.

Are you sure (not doubting you but maybe your memory is hazy)? Quite often companies will be paying in advance e.g. my previous employer paid on the first working day of the month but it was to cover the period up to the 5th of the month. Whereas current employer pays on the latest working day up to and including the 25th, to cover the entire month.
 
I looked on my contract it does say monthly in arrears on 23rd now changed to last day of the month. from what i can see arrears means that you are paid after working not in advance. I don't know if they pay the 23-31 in advance. I thought they did 23-23. I definitely worked a month before receiving my first pay check.

If i left on the 15th of a month and pay check was due on 25th would i get paid from the 26th to 15th and if pay check was 30th will i get paid 1st to 15th.

This is when they took over, and this is when your new pay period started. Sounds like the week lost belongs to the previous company.

You need to investigate your previous employer and find out when your pay cut off date was, and what the pay period was.

Just Email HR with a query. It doesn't need to be heavy handed you just need the handover pay period and cut off dates explaining.

It may also help to get hold of a copy of the handover meeting minutes. When the TUPE took place you should have had a general meeting with the new employer. In that meeting they should have explained how the pay over the changeover was going to be handled.
 
When I was TUPE'd in 2006, all my terms & conditions had to be maintained by my new employer for 2 years which include the date that my monthly salary dropped into my bank account.

I doubt the payroll date was one of those terms and conditions. It can be varied, and the transition managed through loans if needed.

This is about timing of payment of salary, not the level of salary itself.
 
It all depends on what was agreed during the TUPE'd negotiations.
Some companys allow others to keep their old pay schemes for a short while or for indefinite, as if its a large number of staff they taking over, they can't make the switch within a short time period, not worth the effort or too much for them to coupe.

It's possible that your new company has a different pay date or/and different pay scheme, some places work a week in hand or two weeks. One place I worked for it was a month in hand!
 
If salaried the vast majority of contracts will say in arrears, ie they pay fo what you have done, not what you will do.
If your monthly paid then the part month at the start will have been settled at some point, probably your first pay was 1.x months.
Most contracts also state "by the end of the (calendar) month", even if they in practice pay in advance of that date. Early payment gives them some breathing room should something go wrong, and it can. If they didnt pay by the end of the month they would be in breach of contract.
I get paid on the 15th, sometimes as early as the 13th, my contract says, monthly in arrears, by the end of the calendar month.
