    What work do you do?

    You will get paid...it just may take a very long time. I wouldn't want to wait nor want the hassle so if it's low wages I'd want weekly pay in arrears...with maybe with a week in hand. I'd never agree to do two months in arrears.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    I work in retail, so not easy finding a new job. When I checked a month in hand and a month in arrears on the internet I found that a month in hand was being paid at the end of the job commencement month whereas arrears is being paid at the end of month two. It's not what I would like but jobs are so difficult to find nowadays.

    There is a clue in there somewhere that they are not good business people?
