Yeah,both early and late have an advantages. I think the best thing is to work in a place where it is consistent. If it is by 24th then it should be 24th every month,if its 10th same thing. That way if you standardise you'll always be comfortable.

I remember once working at this place that said 30th,then 5th then 12th ... and ended up not paying us ... and the company collapsed ...

Sorry man. I do understand that totally. Life has its ups and downs. All the best. I am sure guys here have gone through some crazy times too and made it. Like the one I've written above ....


If you want anything to work,work it

so who is going to join me bring my wallet to manageable levels....?

When you run so fast to get somewhere,you miss the fun of getting there... Life is not a race,so take it slowly....

@akowally;

Was that the accounting firm of Waithaka Kiarie & Co?

They used to do that....Jan salo comes on 5th Feb;

Feb salo comes on Mar 15;

Mar salo comes on 25 Apr;

Apr salo comes on June 5

and at that point you've missed one month salary!!!

Many people would resign in April and May...those who remain would be owed three months salary by December....and the partner would still be driving around in a big Merc [mac??] talking to his children in UK universities for hours on end!!!!

They use to hold the PKF franchise but lost it...for obvious reasons.

If they [Waithaka & Co] are still around and they offer you a job don't take it unless they pay your salary in advance!!!!!

May be we should start a thread on Worst employer......

LOL! that reminds me of a colleague who was employed somewhere in hurlingham immediately she finished college. she was earning like 7k or so. and she had a baby and a boyfriend who was still tarmacking... so the dude used to pull those Waithaka moves.... so this one month,all broke,frustrated and all,she goes to office expecting to be paid but the dude kept dodging. The dude dint come to office but was calling to give orders of what to be done! At 11am,the chick packed her personal belongings,and packed the company's most precious new imported machine - the fax machine. she called her boss and told him she is leaving and if she doesnt get her money in 3 days,she is selling off the fax machine (i bet they were expensive that time - around 1999 or so). And she took off. she got paid the next day!

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

On the other side of town......Bamburi pays 13 salaries per year!!!!

They pay a salary around 20th December and then another one on 31st December!!!!

That way,employees get money for xmas and more money for school fees in January.

Perhaps we should have a law compelling all employers to do the same.....

....and the won't have to incur any additional expenses.....

if you agree,say 30k pm,this would be converted to 360k pa and then divided into 13 installments of 27,692 each.....

Just a thought
