Have you been reguarly paid late? What can you do?

If your employer is regularly late when paying your wages but you are still employed, then there are procedures you can use to enforce your legal right to be paid according to your terms and conditions of employment.

You are entitled to be paid on time as part of your contract of employment. First, you should try to resolve this dispute about pay with your employer using any internal complaint or grievances procedures that are available. Then, if this does not work, and your employer is still paying you late, you may make a formal complaint to the Workplace Relations Commission. At both stages of these procedures you should use any supports available, for example, a trade union or your local Citizens Information Centre to help you get your legal right to payment on time.
