I started a new job 2nd November & am paid the third Thursday of every month so technically this Thursday
Will I receive any wages? Or will it be December now?

Probably. It will depend if there is any lying time and when the payroll cut-off is.
Why don't you ask your line manager?0 -
Every company is different. I am paid on the 22nd for the entire month (so partly in advance I guess). Some places can be an entire month in arrears. Some can be an entire month in advance. There are no rules here.0

Even if you have missed the cut-off date and the next payday is in December, some companies will pay new starters before the next payday, as they understand that you might be short - just check with your HR/Payroll Team.0

Also depends whether your line manager submitted all the right documentation to payroll in a timely fashion, and if they didn't manage that whether payroll knew you were coming and asked for anything missing ... so it may depend on the size of the organisation.A_Lone_Hiker said:Probably.

Where I work, small organisation, everyone knows everyone else, I do the legwork for payroll and I'd know about you in good time because I'd also be setting up your IT account. If I know you're coming and I'm NOT asked to set up your IT account, I want to know why, and if I don't see your payroll forms I want to know why.
In the large organisation I used to work for, multiple offices, less reliable.
So yes, ask your line manager. If NOT this Thursday, ask how you'd go about asking for an advance.Signature removed for peace of mind0 -
Some places will pay via the next payday pro-rata and others will make you wait until the next pay date - when you'll get more than the usual monthly salary.
But as others have said, you need to check with your line manager or HR person. They should have told you on your first day, though.
Please note - taken from the Forum Rules and amended for my own personal use (with thanks) : It is up to you to investigate, check, double-check and check yet again before you make any decisions or take any action based on any information you glean from any of my posts. Although I do carry out careful research before posting and never intend to mislead or supply out-of-date or incorrect information, please do not rely 100% on what you are reading.

Ask the employer. There’s no standard approach for when you should receive your first pay, but it’s a perfectly reasonable question.0
