    If you ring your bank, they might give you a temporary overdraft until your pay clears.
    Here I go again on my own....

    I thought employers had to ensure pay was in their employees' bank accounts on the specified pay day? As in, it's illegal not to unless there are exceptional circumstances?

    I've had quite a bit of trouble with my pay going in late some months and really early others (a nightmare for DDs and budgeting) so have asked around and this is the general consensus. Not saying it's gospel, but I think it's extremely unfair to be paid late because your pay day lands on a weekend/holiday. You should be paid tomorrow in my opinion!

    This is the best solution I think, and exactly what I would do :)

    It is a serious answer. Its too late to get it in the bank before then now.

    Exceptional circumstances like Xmas? No, it's not illegal.

    Point taken, I did say I wasn't sure I was correct!
