Ah that's really good to know, thanks. I'll ask him to come in business hours. If I can verify the cheque then good to go I guess. If not,…

Yep. I had a chat to the buyer and he seems pretty understanding and is also surprised they've gone cheque. I'll get it and make a judgment…

Yeah maybe, though I always try to be careful buying and selling used cars, and doubly so with cheques. No different if I received…

They use both cheque and bank deposit. I can't comment on why they have used cheque in this situation, but it is certainly not abnormal

Generally I'd prefer OSKO, fast and if I can see it as available in my bank account I can have a reasonable degree of confidence it's real.…

I'm selling a car and have a prospective buyer (well, agreed on price and he's had his finance approved). The buyer has finance via RAC,…

By my rough calculations they've put themselves about $24,000-26,000 ahead by doing this :)

We are paid in arrears only. If we were paid in advance, I wouldn't have much of an argument. Changing it without notification was…

Or investments. I own a townhouse in a 4 unit strata, and I'm the only owner who lives in the country.

Nope, generally don't watch any free-to-air tv at all really

Yep, from further research it looks like doing this without any prior consent, consultation or at the very least prior notification is a…

I know, I should have included the /s after my comment hahah Although I would *really* like a good low light lens and a new macro lens. I'm…

Haha- it was a bit of a joke about gear byers. On one hand, I understand the camera is not my limiting factor, though I do enjoy buying and…

My $1200 camera doesn't help me take good enough photos, will this work? (I wish I could spend more money on photography, but once you add…

Yeah that's the problem, "large" just means "normal" in pizza land

I'd usually imagine roughly a 12" pizza being a large, 8-10 being a small, and something like a 14" being a family size? idno I don't buy a…

I honestly find it really interesting- 40 hour work weeks are so pervasive and common I had no clue the guideline was 38.

Wtf how did I miss this? Yeah, this is probably worth looking at

Appreciate the feedback. In their defence, I can see why they would want to change the schedule, but I don't think this was the best way to…

With an *; only on dismissal. I guess the question is, is accruing additional days in arrears for pay fine (it may be- I'm not sure, and…

Yeah, I checked and they haven't correctly amended the dates to reflect this change (the same dated pay period is still being shown), so…

Oooh, interesting- what you said *should* have been the case, but the pay period dates haven't actually been reflected to update this…

My only issue is to do this they've perpetually accrued a day in arrears without informing anyone.

Yep, though pay dates remain the same. However if you put it in a black box with inputs (work/hours) and outputs (income) you get: 40 hours…

Yeah, and that's pretty much the answer I anticipate from them. Wherever the legality sits I don't think doing things like this is…

Yeah, it's to buy processing time, but generally there's been no issues with pays previously. Yes, I understand it's "being paid a week…

Good point. Will do

We are paid in arrears. So effectively instead of being between 0 days behind and 1 week behind on pay, it will perpetually be at least 1…

For "administrative reasons" our workplace has shifted the working week from Friday to Thursday, rather than Monday to Friday. Pay day…

Elise/exige is astronomically out of the budget by a factor of 100-400% MR2 spyder, find a manual converted one, or even better, a 2zz…
