[Shigobad20201]

We are working for the money just to make end meet and all workers will be expected to be paid atbthe end of the month , so its normal as a good boss to relay any delay in payment to them so that can prepare ahead .

That's one of the most important signs and character that will be exhibited by employees. At the end all these things will still have a negative effect in our business and is something that could have been avoided with just a simple explanation.

I agree with this assertion completely. All you have to do as an employer is to be honest with your employees because if they are at a peace of mind regarding salaries, the high productivity shown by them will remain constant

Yea, and also when all these things are not being discussed on time , employees might start believing that the business owners has purposely refused paying their salary. Personally I will start seeking for another employment immediately.

It's the most important thing. In any case, an employer should find all possible ways to prevent something like that from happening but if it does happens, you should inform your employees in a sober mood that will show how sorry you are about the situation. The employees have work for the money so it's their right to receive it at the right time

Since so many people have to deal with their monthly expenses, it is always a best idea to communicate with your employees regarding this so that they can manage things accordingly.

This is true. Salary arrears which are not accounted for tends to make workers feel uneasy, and the natural reaction is for them to explore their options. This will distract them from the work at hand and severely lower their effectiveness

Oh yeah sure..one can complain. Sometimes it can be coincidence; maybe one way or the other your account wasn't rightfully selected during the monthly salary transaction. So I think complaining wouldn't be a bad idea though.

Omo that's how it should be. Anyway business owners now are willing to communicate the challenge they are having in their business organisation with their employees. Only an experience business owners won't be able to do so.

Yes, each and every person has to deal with their monthly expenses and this is the main reason why they have to manage money. They cannot manage their financial affairs if they do not receive salary on time.

Yea. It is not really easy , most times I always blame the government on the reasons why a lot of people are being played with by wicked employers , even when their salaries are not even enough.

Of course you have to make a case for the payment of your salary if it is delayed. It is your right and you deserve it. You just have to speak to your employer or write a letter if possible and lay out your complaints to them. In time you will be paid.

One of the things about expectations that have not been meet to ones employees,is that their acceptance of whatever the management is saying would be base on their credibility and past records of keeping to promise.

 

[Sincerem]

Yes it is absolutely necessary. it shows transparency and that you really care about the offairs of your employees . They might start behaving strangely when they come to find out that you are not paying them and you're not saying anything about it.

 

[Skysaint]

If there's any reason why your employees should be delayed in terms of salary and payment, I think they deserve to know atleast. It's very unhealthy for you not to communicate such matters with them.

As a good entrepreneur that likes his or her workers and wants the best for them , its proper to discuss any delay in payment to your workers so that it will brings more respect for the elders .

Some employees, especially the high-value ones, may lose confidence and consider quitting their jobs if the leadership of a company can't be confident in the way they manage the affairs of the company especially when employees face delay in salary payment.

The high-value employees are those whose skills are in high demand in your company’s area of expertise. Their skills are vital to the productivity of your company; therefore you do not want to lose them to competitors. Besides, no one wants to be part of are failing organization if they have the opportunity of getting another job offer. To secure their services, it is important their salaries are paid soonest.
Employees need to know you are on top of the situation, and you really should be. Be honest and discreet if the situation is proving tougher than you can handle.

is it wise to come out plain when explaining things to your aggrieved employees as a manager?

If there is any delay in payment of salary, you should discuss it with your employees rather than don't even tell the situation. Because they need salary that's why they are here so clear them instead of loosing their interest.

Yes that's very important, your employees won't be happy if you don't communicate with them about the delay in paying their salaries, despite the fact you own the business you are expected to tell them.

There should be no excuse for salary delays. If there is ever a delay of any kind, it is important to let the staff know why there was a delay in the first place. The need for extreme transparency is one requirement of management.

 

[frederick_9]

Explaining the rationale for the pay raise to the staff is crucial since it helps dispel any misconceptions, anxieties, or presumptions that might be affecting their productivity.

 

[Danny4cash]

It is important to communicate delay I payment to employees. It's very important. As a business owner or manager, it's expedient of you to pay your employees salary as at when due. If there's going to be a delay, you should let the employees know.

 

[nana kwasi1]

There are many different types of leadership. Many of the decision-makers in most businesses would believe that it is unnecessary to inform the personnel of the reason for the delay in their salaries. This action, in my opinion, is not humane because it devalues the self-worth of these workers.
