Why do you have to wait until next week? Why can't they pay you tomorrow for this week??? I used to get Paid on Monday's but a lot of holidays ended up falling on Monday and parents would forget cause of the weekend so I changed my payday to the friday prior to the work week and it has been so much easier on everyone.. Plus I have money in the bank when I go grocery shopping over the weekend or hit the craft store for supplies! It sucks that your closed today but they need to pay for being at least a day late and they need to bring payment tomorrow! These parent's wouldn't stand for their bosses paying them late so they shouldn't be paying you late either!
