Why can’t wages be paid in the morning and have to be paid in the afternoon? Does anyone know why?

To reduce the impact of fluctuations, most companies’ monthly salary payment is not a fixed amount. Our company is also the same. In addition to the basic salary, various bonuses, subsidies, welfare fees, etc. will be paid from time to time every month. The monthly quotas are different, and so are the employees at different ranks. In order to reduce the impact of "big joys and sorrows" on employees' work status during the day after receiving their wages, it is more reasonable to send them before getting off work. If you have any questions, call HR after work. It’s also more convenient. After all, no amount of salary is too much. Your salary is paid before get off work. If you have any surprises, you can have a meal. If you have any emotions, you can digest them after get off work.

Some units are really superstitious about this thing, saying that it is because the company cannot pay out in the morning, otherwise it means that it will continue to lose money. Only when you pay your salary in the afternoon will you feel that you are in good luck. Units that normally pay wages at the off-duty point do so to prevent employees from discussing wages internally and affecting each other's work. If wages are paid in advance, employees are worried that they will not be interested in working, and internal discussions about why the money will be deducted and how to pay more commissions and bonuses will cause financial trouble. In fact, for workers, regardless of whether you send them in the morning, afternoon or middle of the night, you hope it is not the last day of every month? Some companies pay wages on the 31st of every month, effectively reducing employees' salary by one month, which is really quite speechless.

As an HR who determines the company's salary payment time, let me answer the real reason. First of all, when I saw this question, I also thought about whether I pay in the afternoon every month. Hey, it is true! Are there reasons behind unconscious work routines? I thought about it and there should be two points: "Manage employees' expectations and reduce the impact of fluctuations. As far as our company is concerned, we pay the monthly salary on the 10th of every month and settle the salary in advance, so there is no deliberate delay. At the beginning of each month We start preparing to pay wages. We usually prepare the salary details before the 9th, but we will always wait until the afternoon. The main reason is to give employees a stable expectation and ensure that they receive their wages at a fixed time every month. , employees who are particularly concerned about the time of distribution may have been waiting for the sound of text messages since 9 o'clock, which affects their working status throughout the day.

Why many people are willing to go to large companies and public institutions? Not only are wages not in arrears, but project commissions are arranged in advance, which at least makes employees feel that the company is reliable. If a company requires employees to supervise even the payment of wages, then the company is not far away from bankruptcy. Most of these companies are high-tech companies, listed companies, foreign-funded companies or state-owned enterprises, with relatively large scales, good benefits, and very complete systems. Paydays are usually from the 5th to the 10th of the following month. If the payday conflicts with holidays or rest days, most companies will issue the year-end bonus in advance.

Among foreign-funded companies, European and American companies are examples of compliance with Chinese laws. , there are statutory holidays, and the benefits and treatment provided to employees are better. Salaries will be paid before the 10th of the following month, and there will also be humanistic care such as holiday gifts and New Year red envelopes. This is true for state-owned enterprises and state-controlled enterprises. Because this type of enterprise is a "national" brand, there is no need to worry too much about salary issues. There will be no discounts in the implementation of national policies, such as weekends, overtime pay, high temperature pay, paid annual leave and other state-mandated benefits and benefits. . Generally speaking, they must pay last month’s salary before the 10th of the next month, and some will pay this month’s salary on the last day of the month.

By the middle of the month (including the 15th). Although the companies that pay salaries are not as formal as the first type of companies, they are not much worse. At least they are some A-share listed companies or companies with better profits, relatively sound systems and emphasis on management. As for weekends, holidays and holidays. Benefits are generally not lacking, but there may not be year-end bonuses or weekends, etc. But compared to those companies that don’t pay wages until the end of the month, let’s add a joke: It’s almost the middle of the month. A self-proclaimed stock god said, please hold on for a few more trading days and wait for the arrival of reinforcements. A large wave of mysterious funds will enter the market to save the market on the 16th. Don’t ask me why I know so much inside information, because our company will be on the 15th. Pay wages!

Most of them are in the social service industry and labor-intensive companies. They usually pay wages on the 15th to the 25th of the following month. This is mainly to stabilize their employees. Employees in similar enterprises have poor stability and frequent turnover, so business owners have no choice but to resort to this strategy.

Some companies even set their payday after the 20th before paying last month's wages, which is equivalent to depressing employees' wages by more than half a month. But this kind of payday is not feasible in some areas because wage regulations differ in each area. No wonder some people say that first-class companies pay wages at the beginning of the month, medium-sized companies pay wages at the middle of the month, and third-rate companies pay wages at the end of the month. It's not unreasonable. The earlier wages are paid, the earlier employees will benefit, which also means that the company is doing well, and there is no need to worry about money flowing in and cash flow clanking.

As for why wages cannot be paid in the morning? Does it have something to do with not being able to hold funerals in the afternoon? Yes, or does it have something to do with not being able to get married in the afternoon? I guess it’s all customary and superstitious. It is said that in Guangdong and other areas, some relatively superstitious people believe that money cannot be paid before 10 a.m. and that money can only be paid after 10 a.m. or in the afternoon. I don’t know what they think. As a human resources worker, I don't have this particular emphasis at the moment. I cannot pay wages in the morning. This is often because the process cannot be completed in the morning, so I cannot pay wages in the morning.

The salary payment process is as follows: the human resources department gives the finance department a list, the finance department connects with the bank, and then pays from the bank system and deposits it into the employee's card. This docking and reconciliation takes a long time. The reconciliation is completed in the morning and the money transfer starts in the afternoon. Many times, employees only receive money in their salary cards at night. For banks, every second delayed is a second! For employees, a second earlier is a second, after all, it’s better to be safe!

In some overseas institutions, especially in some African countries, we usually pay wages in the morning. Go to the bank early in the morning and withdraw the money. Women have already lined up at the door, waiting to get money. African men’s wages cannot be paid to men. As long as the men disappear without a trace as soon as they get the money, their wives can't find them, and they just take the money and go out to eat, drink, and gamble. By the time they got home, they were empty-handed. Therefore, the wives of employees were waiting in front of the company early in the morning to collect their money. Therefore, companies in various regions have different habits. According to financial knowledge, the mentality of paying and receiving money is completely different. Those who paid wanted to have the money warm in their hands, and those who received the money wanted to have it in their hands immediately without delaying even a second. This is the charm of capital, greed is flowing from every pore every second.
