Pay dates

CBHFBII

My pay day is the 1st of every month. However should this fall on a Saturday I have to wait till the following Monday and not the standard being paid on the friday. Is this legal.

There is no standard of being paid on the Friday if pay is due on the weekend. 
Yes it is legal.

Its certainly unusual to be paid on the 1st of the month and more unusual again to be paid after the date than before should it fall on a weekend, but legality doesnt come into it, check the employment contract you agreed to. If it says as an example "1st working day of the month" you have no leg to stand on.

Yes, if that it what you have agreed to in your contract (which can include staff handbook and even custom and practice).

That said it is fairly unusual. Many (most??) firms ensure that when weekends, bank holidays etc affect salary payment dates they pay a day or two earlier so that employees are kept waiting for their money.

A prior HMRC bulletin on how to enter data included examples of both if you pull the payment forward and if you push it back. It would seem odd for HMRC to cover pushing it back were it illegal to do so.

Certainly my experience has always been pulling it forward (other than the one place that paid you on the 3rd Thursday of the month and therefore it never was a non-working day) but there isnt any legal requirement for that to be the decision.

If ever they added bank holidays to make that payment date the 6th of the month that could become an issue for you although still not illegal.

With Faster payments it's possible to pay you on the first of each, regardless of whether it's a weekend, bank holiday or not.

Ask your employer for this?

Legal yes. But possibly breach of contract depending on your contract.

If the OP knew the relevant laws/Acts they wouldn't need to ask the question.

I think you are missing the point here,  peopel spout 'it;s against the law ' about a lot of things  or ' it's policy' the immediate response has to be   show me where it says this ...
