[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.
I am paid every Friday for working that week.
DB just happened to give me this week's check yesterday.
I will be travelling internationally.  It will be impossible to bank where I am going.
I do not need to be paid early for any reason other than I will not be able to get to the bank next Friday, as I will still be out of the country.  I'm leaving tomorrow morning.   I can't deposit a post-dated check prior to leaving.  This leave me with no choice but to deposit the Monday (7/12) I arrive home and wait an additional 2 days for the check to clear.
I have bills tht will be automatically drafted during the Monday-Wednesday time period that the funds from my paycheck (which I will have earned by that time) will be unavailable to me.  I have already moved money from my savings account into my checking to cover them, which I didn't want to do.
I am not bad at handling money.  I'm actually quite good at it.  Those assumptions were unnecessary.[/quote]

THen you should restructure your autopayments to give you a better cushion, and/or build up more of a cushion in your account.  If you can't weather a three day fluctuation in payment time then you are living too close to the line.

Your employers should not be expected to pay you in advance of the time they normally would.

Get direct deposit set up and you're done.  If you're paying all your bills on autopay then direct deposit is a no-brainer.

This is your responsibility OP - not your employer's.  If I were your employer and sensing this level of urgency/pressure around the payment issue I'd be concerned about your financial stability and judgment.  Not really any of my business of course but you're asking them for a favor (and seemingly feeling put out about it) that makes it more of their business.[/quote]

+1.  While I understand your predicament it's not your employers problem that you are going out of the country.  It's not that hard to change your autopayments if necessary but being annoyed at your employer for paying you on time is not the way to go.[/quote]
