      I always ensure that all my employees are paid on time. If they're not, there's only one person to blame

        This is not an individual error, multiple errors. Finances not an issue principal is.

          If it´s only one day late I would just be persistent with the Admin. Don´t see this is a reason to stay at home because the cost of one day away from work is more than interest you lose on payment being a day late, and if you miss a day and your finances are in the poo, you put yourself further in the poo by doing this. It would be pointless. Even if this results on them being punctual for the next payments, you still lose out.

          Sometimes late payment is due to a cash flow problem, i.e. the agency is going bust usually though you find the payment gets delayed more and more as time goes on. If this happens you need to look for a new contract.

            One day late is often an admin issue - but I still call the agents if the money doesn't hit the account on the day the payment advice states.

            I've never, in over 7 years, had a payment later then 1 day overdue.

              Successful businesses don't survive on principle. Look at the situation and make the best decision, which in a one day late situation is pretty bloody obvious.

              Being a director you also have a legal obligation to do the right thing for the shareholders regardless of your opinions and principles. Not turning up and not getting paid for the time you don't turn up is a good result in this case how?

              What a waste of a thread.

                Hang on wages?

                Are you a permie or working via an umbrella?

                  Umbrella, yes this is not too bad but not something I would like to happen often! I wont make a fuss but just checking what seasoned contractors action are.
                  It is not clients fault but probably some poor lady in the office who made a mistake.

                    You see we need the facts. Then we can advise you to ring the umbrella first thing on Monday, confirm that they have received money from agency and ensure they pay you.

                    And if they haven't received the money you can hassle the agency.

                    Either way none of you options above are appropriate
