Barclays - Wages didn't go in on Saturday

donnalou

Hi there,
I have been with Barclays all of my working life and as far as I remember whenever I got paid on a Monday, My wages cleared on the Saturday before.

I have recently started working for a new company and this is my 2nd pay with them. I am due to be paid tomorrow so I was expecting my wages to show yesterday but they didn't? I did however get my Child Benefit and UC yesterday.

Has anyone came across this before? Could it be down to the company using a different bank? And my wages will be there tomorrow?

I know that I will find out in the morning but I work in a School and if my money hasn't gone in there will be no one to contact as it's half term so I am feeling a bit anxious now.

Many thanks
Donna

If your employer is due to pay you tomorrow, the funds will go into your account tomorrow.

Your previous employer was paying you on the Saturday. It's nothing to do with Barclays.

Monzo Bank has a similar facility, if your wages are dues in by BAC`S on the Monday, they will allow you to collect them early @ 4pm the working day before, so on the Friday.

Not all Banks offer this service, and it does depend on how your wages are transferred.

Sorry, I think you misunderstood me.

Every employer that I have ever had or any benefits etc that are due on the Monday the money is always in on the Saturday just like this Saturday when I received CB and UC. So it is down to Barclays and that is why I am questioning about my wages.

Yes hopefully they just use a different way of transferring money and my wages will be in in the morning.....fingers crossed

That's not correct. Barclays treat Saturday as the following Monday, and they clear Monday's incoming BACS payments on the Saturday, they have done for years, although they will still be dated as Monday on the statement.  NatWest used to do the same but they stopped it about three or so years ago.

The OP's employer might have changed to paying wages by Faster Payments instead of BACS.  If so, these will be received as soon as they are sent.

Perhaps Barclays are undertaking weekend maintenance. The BACS run hasn't been uploaded yet.

If your Child benefit and Universal credit has been paid yesterday then it’s unlikely that the reason your wages not going in is due to an issue with Barclays, the issue is more likely to be with your employer or their banking arrangement. 

I suspect that your employer doesn’t use BACs to pay you, they may set up future dated faster payments, which means the money will leave their account and go into your account tomorrow. It’s only BACs payments that show early on a Saturday if it’s due in your account on Monday with Barclays.

This.  When I do a future dated FP it goes out at silly o'clock in the morning on the specified day so is most likely what is happening here.

My wife works in education and we bank with Barclays. Whenever pay day falls on a Monday, the wages show up on Saturday, but are shown with Monday's date.

Thank you, Yes this is what I was hoping I just looked back at my last pay and it went in at 4am so hopefully you are right.
