Most hourly employees are paid by payroll. Only cash workers are usually paid the same week.

I’m a nanny, and I prefer payroll. I’ve been paid weekly, biweekly and monthly. In all cases, you get paid one statement later, and your last payroll deposit is one statement period after work is discontinued.

We use a payroll service and I get paid in real time.

Which payroll service? I think most nannies and employers would prefer to switch, so please name it

DP- My MB uses SurePayroll and I’m paid on Friday for the week worked. Zero problems.

SurePayroll doesn't offer real-time payment. They do have same-day direct deposit (which comes at a cost, and which most payroll services offer for a fee), but you still have to enter the hours in the morning for payment that afternoon.

So while it's great that your employers is paying you on Friday for the week that just ended, they are most likely running payroll several days earlier and assuming you will work as planned that week. For those who have to fill out a timesheet at the end of the work week to determine the amount of the check, this isn't an option.

How are they paid on Friday for work they just did that day?

You shouldn't shout your stupidity. If an emoyee is on vacation or sick they still get paid.

Well some of us live pay check to pay check. We aren’t wealthy or well off like our employers. ...or have our own bills to pay. It’s not about “managing” our finances. Anywho, I get paid weekly, but I get paid a week behind. So this Friday I will get paid for last week and so on.

Of course it’s about being able to manage your money. Read Dave Ramsey or Suze Orman if you aren’t able to save enough money to tide you over for two weeks.

+1 OP’s nanny sounds unprofessional.

They said changing anything after Tuesday is incredibly difficult, partly due to banks usually having 2-3 business day processing time for direct deposits. I give my nanny guaranteed hours and PTO and have a pretty regular schedule, but there are still odd occasions where she unexpectedly gets sick on a Thursday or I need her to stay a bit late with only a day or two notice. If you think explaining a one time, one week delay in the paycheck is confusing, keeping track of what has been paid vs. what has been worked/taken as PTO as two separate ledgers would be even more so.

I am sure there are options where I could cut checks directly and it would seem like same day payment, but that would 1) be an additional hassle on both sides to have to write and deposit (not sure my nanny is up for weekly trips to the bank after a long workweek and a long commute), and 2) require your bank to show the amount as crediting to your account same day as a courtesy, even though the check does not officially clear for 2-3 more business days.

Both of you sound dumb! Your nanny probably was young (still living w/ parents) or older, where she had savings. You don’t know the nannies background so STFU!
