How and when payment is made?
All employees are entitled to know how and when they will be paid. An employer, should tell their employees the date in the month or day in the week that they will be paid, as well as whether they will be paid by cash, cheque or directly into their bank. Employers should tell employees this information when they first start work. If an employer has employed a temporary agency worker, it will be the agency's responsibility to pay the candidate, and therefore also their duty to let the employee know when and how.
