A week in hand means that the employer holds on to one weeks wages for a week after you have earned it. If you start work on the 1st January you will get paid for that week not on the 7th but on the 14th so after that you get paid every week but the employer always owes you at least one weeks money. Under current UK law an employee, unless the contract specifies more, must give one weeks notice. If an employee walks out without giving that notice then the employer can hold on to that weeks money

Week In Hand

This is when you start a new job and get the first week's pay at the end of the second week and the second week's pay at the end of the third week. When you come to leave the job you are due 2 weeks pay.

It means your employer keeps a week's pay in his hand until you quit - so you get paid for a week's work at the end of week two and when you leave you get the first week's pay back.

The first week you work you don`t get paid. The second week you do, and your employer keeps your first week `in his hand` until you leave, then he pays you it. So if you`re owed four weeks normal pay on leaving, you would get five, the extra one from the first week you worked that your employer originally kept.

It means that the first week's wage is paid at the end of the second worked week.

You receive no wages for the 1st week's work.
The boss hold's this in hand, but when you leave the job you will receive the last week's wage plus the original week in hand. Therefore 2 weeks wages.

It means that you don't get paid until the end of your 2nd week. Then you only receive 1 weeks pay. When you quit the job or get fired they owe you a weeks money and you get it then as well as any holiday pay etc that you are owed.

You always get paid a week behind. When you finish the contract, you will get a week's wage plus the week's wage that you are behind. E.G, you will work two weeks before you get paid for one. Hope that helps.

They pay a week behind. You won't get the first week pay till the second week, and this continues. You are held back a weeks pay. Hope this makes it easy to understand.=====
