5 week pay months... help!

hrm34

Thank you guys. Amersall Its not that simple as that way shows 4 weeks and couple of days in each month and going over previous payslips this is not the case. On a monthly basis he gets 160 hrs which equates exactly to 4 weeks at 40 hrs per week and this does not match the calender scenario!

As for overtime... I know that stopped a while ago so not the reason for extra pay. Its comman knowledge in the workplace he is at that there are '5 week' months just not which ones!!

My OH is a scardy cat and wont ask them! He does't panic about money like I do and has no idea how much we need this to be a five week month!!!

I did do a big reply but typical lost it,

try again - gets paid on 15th - if that lands on weekend gets the fri before......

Going through the calender on my phone there is no 5 week months, the most you have is 4 weeks and

June - pd fri 14th (4 weeks 2 days)
July - pd Mon 15th - (4 weeks 2 days)
Aug -pd thurs 15th (4 weeks 2days)
Sept -pd Fri 13th (4 weeks)
Oct -pd tues 15th (4 weeks 3 days)
Nov pd fri 15th (4 weeks 3 days)
Dec pd fri 13th (4 weeks)
Jan pd Wed 15th (4 weeks 5 days = could class a 5 week mth)
feb pd fri 14th (4 weeks and 2 days)
Mar pd fri 14th ( 4 weeks)

Dont know if that is any help - xx

You didn't lose it, the OP has posted this thread in three different forums.

It sounds as if he might hand in a time sheet?? If so, you need to know the hand-it-in-by-or-don't-get-paid date, and the dates your OH actually hands them in (Friday afternoon? Monday morning?)

He has a clock card which gets taken by his boss at the end of every week. Its very annoying that I he wont ask them!!

hrm34,

Try this calculator for working out the duration between dates http://www.timeanddate.com/date/duration.html

Right, so...if he hands in his clock card on a Friday....then you need to know the payroll cut-off date and count Fridays between cut-off dates.

Alternatively, as you're stressing now, you should get a five weeker roughly every three months or so. How long is it since the last one?

Edit: I see, 15th Feb.

Right...well...unfortunately, March is ALWAYS going to be a four-weeker (28 days in Feb).

So although it has been three months, it still depends

Surely all that matters, is how many hours he has worked, during the month.

I've just been paid, and have been paid for the hours I worked in April.

The only things that affect me, month by month, are:-

1. The number of weeks rent I have to pay.

2. The number of journeys I'll make to and from work.

3. The amount I'll need to spend on food.

That said, monthly pay can be a PITA , when a short month (resulting in fewer than normal shifts) is followed by a long month (resulting in having to pay 5 weeks rent and a few extra journeys to and from work), and a Godsend when the reverse applies.

From all your posts it seems clear that your OH needs to clarify things with his payroll department - if he is anything like my husband try writing out what you want him to find out about his wages/pay dates.

I have telephoned my husbands employer previously as he is flipping useless with finding out information, you are lucky that your husband works set hours which makes it far more simple to work out once you know the cut of dates for each pay day. My husband works anywhere between 35 -58 hours a week and keeping track of it gets difficult unless I write his hours down each day.
