I know this is a odd platform to enquire about advice......

But ..

Its been a long time since I,ve moved jobs.

Been asked by my new employer " what date do I wish to start"

Being paid monthly.....stating the

Obvious is it best to say 1st of the month or middle of the month.?

Any feed back would be good.

Also if I have holiday already booked paid for later in year ,is it unreasonable for me to request this to be honoured ie 2 weeks .

Awkward ...

I'd find out when pay day is and get as close to that as you can.

They should honour your holiday. Most companies do

Hope that helps

You normally get paid a month in lieu so if you start at the start of the month you could wait 2 months to be paid. Ask them though, a lot of companies work it so you get part payment.

Most places are happy to honour holidays booked before you start but I'd let them know ASAP.

Start when suits you, but check when the payroll closing date is so that you don’t end up the wrong side of it.

The more notice you can give them of a pre-booked holiday the better, it’s not unusual at this time of year. They are not legally obligated to pay you for it, but it would be unusual if they didn’t.

Wow - I even bored myself with my practical self there.

Best of luck with the new job.

Whatever date you start is entirely up to you and employer, if there’s a concern at potentially missing payroll processing if starting partially into the month and not getting the salary through till the month after (albeit the month and partial month amounts) then speak to your employer - most of you’re in that situation will be willing to transfer you a small upfront amount to tide you over.

Employers typically will honour previously booked holiday too, so discuss this upfront so employer can do their best to cover it if it has any difficulty for them operationally.

Your new employer is going to want to welcome you, just talk to them.

Good luck.

Depending on their holiday year, your holidays will probably be honoured but there could be a possibility of it being pro rata.

Also as someone has said, payroll do have a cut off, I get paid on the 31st and generally the cut off is about the 10th of the month on average, so it depends on how quickly you want to get paid from, hope that helps

Most Employers will honour your holiday chap.

As for the pay question no idea. Speak to HR and see the position.

Good luck in your new job.
