I joined a company on the 6th last month. HR told me I would get paid around the 7th/8th to get paid since I joined late. On the 7th I asked HR “Will I get paid today?” They said no it takes 1 month and 1 week for new employees. Which is different from what they told me on my first day. Is this legal and normal? To be informed so last minute when I was expecting to be paid on the 7th is really frustrating. I could have planned my finances better if they told honestly when I was going to get paid.
