Is it ok to ask to be paid a few days early?

[Anonymous]

You can ask, given that you're long tenured.

I don't think it's a great idea but with two years in hopefully it won't matter.

In general no one gets paid for work (or time) they haven't put in yet. And someone whose financial status is so precarious that they need work arounds for the routine pay schedule doesn't come across as tremendously professional or together.

But, as I said, probably not a huge issue (hopefully).

OP is not asking to be paid for hours OP has not worked. OP is asking to be paid early because OP will be on vacation on OP's usual payday. Stop assuming OP is irresponsible and doesn't manage money well. If it is too much trouble for the family OP works for to cut OP a check, they should set up direct deposit and OP wouldn't have to worry about being paid while on vacation.

She's asking to be paid for days that she has already worked assholes.

Read the post before putting someone down.

OP here, some of you need to improve your reading comprehension skills. I am asking for pay for what I have already worked.
Anyways, I asked her, and she said of course it was not a problem! She is a great MB!

Not true. She is asking to be paid in advance. Whether it's for her vacation time or work hours she is asking to be paid in advance.

Maybe the family will be fine with.

But anyone who wants to be considered a professional who doesn't have a more professional approach to being paid and managing their money can't have it both ways.

Perhaps you can start an advice section I think we'd all appreciate the musings of an obtuse, self-righteous twit. Please , please do it we need you to enlighten us. It seems you have it all figure out. You are some one to be admired as your comprehension challenges have not stopped you from achieving your professional goals.
Share your wisdom it's a gift from the gods. Do not squander your gifts it wouldn't be prudent.
