I'm having one of those days where my brain will not get outta bed so can someone just confirm something for me. . . .

Had an email offer of some very well paid work but it is to be paid on a monthly basis, "a Month in hand"

Does this means that I have to complete 1 months work and then I get paid for that month , or, I will have to work for 2 months before I see any money?
IE: After the 2nd month I will be paid for the 1st months work - But surely that would be 2 months in hand?

I don't want to sound really stupid to the client and my brain just won't compute it at the mo'

being paid a month in hand means you will get paid after you have worked for a month, that means you will get 2 months pay at the end of the second month

So its 2 months pay after working for 2 months....... well I didn't even consider that

And then I assume after that initial period I'm then paid monthly?

Will confirm things when I meet with the client, but wanted to know where I stood first.

Unless someone tells me its something completly different?

Would have said it were work one month get paid. That's certainly how month in hand works for me.

Being paid a month in hand as I understand it would mean you work for a month, then get paid for that month you have just worked at the end of it. You won't get paid 2 months at the end of the second month, you will just get paid the next months money.

I get paid month in hand - so I get paid in March for what I what I wroked in Feb, Paid in April for what I worked in March and so on
I'd check it out before agreeing as it might be constantly a month in hand (like me)

Only good thing is when I stop working for this company I get pay the month after I finish working

Well I'm glad others have more than one way of interpreting it.

I would have thought it was work for a month then get paid for it, but had a doubt in my mind that the first month may be different?

I'll get them to clarify it, but at least I won't feel like an idiot in asking!

Thanks,

I would say, work one month, get paid. That's the way I do it. Am working now, in March, I will receive my cheque, 1st April

Thats how I get paid too, I work March in hand and get paid on the 25th of it.
