Does the bank hoilday effect wage payments
Payments due into your account from other Banks on Tuesday 17 March 2020 may not be credited to your account until Wednesday 18 March 2020.
Some banks might get payments today.
Of course – you have a few days to pick it up.
Normally they send payments out early on a bank holiday. I can only assume they haven’t done it this year or there is a delay somewhere. Hopefully it will be there tomorrow before noon.

Maybe all this virus stuff means they are concentrating on other things. It should be there tomorrow.
I’m on JSB ( casual dockets ) and I’m in the same boat as you . Checked my BOI online this morn . Hopefully tmrw
Well why would there put it up on money guide that the payment that go into the bank Tuesday night will be there Monday night I am freaking out here
The normal procedure with the Dept of Social Protection is to pay it early. (apart from casual jobseekers) . Not sure why it didn’t happen for some people this year.
Okay thank you for your help enjoy your day Roberta

I didn’t realise you could have your job seekers allowance paid into your bank account.
I’m worried I’ll get the virus and be unable to collect the job seeks allowance from the post office.
I would expect it to be there sometime today.
Thanks for the reply, I’ll keep you updated. D
Unfortunately nothing today either. I’m sending a ‘strongly worded letter’ to the office, asking for last week’s payment to be included with the forthcoming one. Seeing as how the phone is effectively dead, and the office I presume is in some kind of meltdown, I’m not sure this letter will make any difference. Thats for the advice. D
bank holiday yesterday – so I would expect payments to be there by 12 noon today
Gone 12 and still no payment in for casual workers. BOI I’m with. Anyone else in position?
I’m with PTSb getting illness benefit. And nothing yet. Usually v prompt every Tuesday.
No pay into bank account for illness benefit?
Anything yet ?
Yes, me. Nothing yet.
I’d be surprised if the payment was that quick. They are VERY busy . Keep checking –
