The most delightful season of the year has arrived for many people — Christmas!

Despite early concerns that the rising number of omicron cases might disrupt Christmas preparations, governments have encouraged Britons that they could ‘stay cool and carry on’ with their typical holiday activities.

So, although there’s one less thing to worry about, there’s still plenty more preparation to be done, from Christmas shopping to getting your gifts delivered on time.

With higher outgoings than normal, some firms may alter how their staff are compensated over the holidays.

So, are you going to be paid before the big day?

Dates for Christmas pay in 2021

It’s fairly unusual for businesses to alter your December payment so that you have enough money for the holidays.

Due to the fact that Christmas Day falls on a Saturday this year, many people may postpone their payments until December 23 or 24, in order to avoid the weekend and bank holidays that will occur from December 27 to December 28.

Many employers will pay you the week prior, allowing you to purchase everything you need.

It’s one thing to have Christmas covered, but individuals are already at risk of sliding into debt during the holidays, and an early payment might mean having to stretch one paycheque further than normal.

Giving up gifts entirely may be too severe for some, but you may use Equifax’s advice to help you budget for Christmas, such as maintaining all of your gift receipts and setting aside a little amount of money each year expressly for Christmas.

Payments of Universal Credit during the holidays

Payments for Universal Credit, which comprises Housing Benefit, Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), Jobseeker’s Allowance, Child Tax Credit, Working Tax Credit, and Income Support, will fluctuate during the holidays.

Because this is the last working day before Christmas, if your expected payment falls on December 27 or 28, you will receive it on Christmas Eve (Friday, December 24).

Payments due on December 29 should be made on Christmas Eve as well.

Because New Year’s Day falls on a Saturday this year, Monday, January 3 is a replacement bank holiday for New Year’s Day. If you are supposed to be paid on January 1, you should get your money on New Year’s Eve (December 31).
