I’m having that trouble as well right now. My ETB aren’t paying me until the 28th or something, it’s shocking. When I rang payroll the guy I was speaking to used to work in social welfare. He said there’s a payment you can get from the government that’s meant to tide you over until you get paid in situations like this. I rang the social welfare and the woman is sending me out the form. Could work for you too

I don’t, he told me the wrong name than what it actually was. I just explained my situation saying I don’t get paid until the end of the month and needed a few bob until then, she knew straight away then what I was on about

It was also my same experience in the LCETB. I think it may have been 3 to 4 months for me though, they had an issue with wanting to pay me the fully qualified rate. I ended up having to get the union involved before they decided to pay me. It was a tough time financially

Yeah it’s not my favourite system. It does mean you have a big payout at the end of month 2 but means nothing really if you don’t have the funds to get by.

Ask them for a detailed list of the documents they need to get you set up, and get all the documents in asap. Check in with them regularly. There were so many delays with mine over them somehow losing documents that I'd email them and they would forget also to ask for certain documents.
I didn't get paid until November!
