Does an employer have to pay for all work you do, even if you havn't reached payday.?

I couldn't fit much more in the title,

To start with this is completely hypathetical and is NOT happening to me it is just something I have always wondered about (and good way for extra cash).

Say you get a job work for like 2 days but then resign with immediate effect but payday wasn't due til the month after, would the employer still have to pay for those 2 days, or are you not entitled to any money until one month in the job?

If you resign with immediate effect and don't fulfill your notice period, then I think the employer could sue for breech of contract.

If it was only 2 days, there would be no breach. First month of employment your allowed to resign with immediate affect.

Well suppose you did work the notice period but still didnt hit payday, would they still have to pay u

This i think is only true as along as there is a not a contract stating more than statutory minimum

Well either way lets assume notice has been served. If first payday isn't reached would they still have to pay you up to what you have done

Googlewhacker is, of course, correct. If the written particulars of employment had been issued and required longer notice, it is that longer notice which would be required. It is only the statutory (ie minimum) notice which doesn't apply until one month after the start date: contractual notice over-rides that if it is longer.

If someone did resign immediately and do no further work, they would still be owed pay for those two days. However, if longer notice were required by the contract, the employer could then seek to be compensated for any additional costs they incurred because the proper notice had not been given.
