Wages are usually paid on a monthly basis for salaried employees and weekly for people who are paid by the hour. Some employers may pay on a different basis, say every 2 weeks or every 2 months. Whatever the frequency of payment, it must be specified in a written statement of particulars, which should be given to employees within 8 weeks of starting work.
You should be told of any change in when or how frequently you will be paid (e.g. monthly, weekly etc.) within 4 weeks of the change.
