Agree with you. Payday is Monday, this is the Friday..

before payday. Some people will whine about anything. As I said before, plan your finances better and you won't be relying on DD. Why don't you call payroll and whine to them, see what they tell you?

The problem with these is that a lot of people don't pay the entire amount back plus the fee and that's it because they're short again on that paycheck so they roll it over and the cycle begins.  Sometimes they go to another lender to pay the first lender, then another to pay the second lender, etc. Storefront lenders at least are regulated.  Most of the ones on the internet are illegal and are more expensive.  In my state they passed a law last year limiting the amount of interest these places can charge.  A lot of them went out of business.  However, if you can use it once, pay it back and that its, you'll be fine.

promises it will either be overnighted to your or in your account by the end of the day and it isn't, and the next day the money isn't there and they wait until the end of the day to tell you they don't know when you'll get paid doesn't that sound very fishy?  I think the CEO should have issued a statement and outlined exactly what the issue is.  If it isn't a matter of money (like they don't have it) then why not say what the problem is. 

Someone mentioned this situation yesterday or the day before and got reamed, but I think this is now a MAJOR issue.  Fortunately for me I got a big tax return and I haven't paid all the bills yet so I'm not hurting, but I can imagine there are more than a few who NEED their checks NOW.

do you think we will be paid on Friday like we were last payday?  This is only my 2nd payday, so I was just curious.  If I have to wait until the 17th, then so be it.  I don't want to be lectured by those I have seen about people expecting to be pair early.  As I said, it happened before, and I just wondered.  Since it is getting late and I have not yet received an email with my paycheck stub, it is looking like probably not. 

Thanks! 

the pay dates are 08/03 and 08/17, so unless your bank magically gets money for you, it has nothing to do with posting dates. 

As for the insurance thing, I'm like the other poster.  I didn't even get my new cards until last week and until then I thought I had screwed up and didn't even get the extra coverage.  I'm not bashing Keystrokes.  I just think they could have waited one more pay period and given people a heads up, this is coming thing for those of us not as wise as you obviously are.

I know to some this is not much, but the DAY BEFORE PAYDAY, they send out the paystubs with an email saying that starting this check, they will be taking out double premiums for the added vision and dental since it wasn't done before.  It only amounts to $30 I wasn't counting on but the timing really sucks!  It would seem more appropriate to warn folks that it will happen with the next check.  I only got my freaking cards last week.   As I said, to most, $30 is not that much, but this hurts. 

Then of course at the next payday will be the lovely treat of waiting extra days to get paid.  The 1st is on Saturday.  Most companies would go ahead and pay that Friday instead but not Keystrokes ........ you can sit your broke behind at home all weekend and wait until Monday.  That will happen 2 paydays in a row. 

the official rule is that we get paid the following Monday. However, the last 2 times it fell on a weekend and it was a Saturday, we were paid the Friday before (yea!!).  There is a listing of all of the official pay dates for 2009.  You should ask S for it.
