Paddy Power Payroll Restructure: Act Now!
It’s not unreasonable to undertake a month’s work and then expect to be paid at the end of the month. After all, we all plan our lives around when we’re going to get paid: direct debits, social arrangements and other financial commitments are often planned with payday in mind.
So Paddy Power’s decision to change the pay period for staff is going to cause financial disruption that most staff can’t afford.
And offering a 3 month bridging loan is simply not enough – all it will do is kick the financial loss down the road and most betting shop staff simply do not earn enough to defer part of their pay until they leave their employment.
We question why Paddy Power needs to move the pay period in the first place, but if there’s a genuine reason for doing so, with no sensible alternative, it should absorb the cost, not put additional financial pressure on staff.
What reasonable employer asks its employees to fund its business?
