I think the very first step you should take is finding out the reason for the delay in the first place, there are times whereby the reasons might actually be legit.

Most employers are manipulative. They'll continue with their bad habits as long as workers are patient. Anyone that tries to revolt will be sacked. Better to leave when necessary.
You know their gsmeplan they want to always eat their cake and have it back. Very terrible kind of life.

In India when you are working in a private sector you cannot do anything when the salary is delayed because companies do that and the only option left is to manage or find a new job
I was paid my November salary only a day before Christmas. This has been going on for months despite reporting to the right people. The best thing would be to get another job.

The only solution to delay salary is to have another secondary source of income that will not affect the primary work.
Yes that's the best option. Having many streams of income is necessary to survive these days if you're a civil servant. You don't have to depend on your salary.

That's wickedness of man. Many employers are fond of that here and they do it with confidence because there are no strong labour laws.

I think that if there is a delay in the salary, then the administration in the company must discuss this thing. Delay in salary can cause many issues for the employees.

True, the administrator or manager is suppose to address this issue on time,but speaking from experience, i have seen cases where the admins would refuse to do say anything on the workers ask first.

Well, I think that managers should consider this issue in a serious way. If a business delays payments, then it could leave a really awful impression. It is always bad to make your employees wait for payments. Good businesses always clear payments on time.

There is no better solution to salary delay than to have secondary sources of income that would be used to complement their primary work.

Exactly, personally i think the best time to pay your employees should be around on the 28th or 30th of each month.

I think the best thing for you to do when your salary is delayed too often is that you should begin to check on other means of income . You can try to diversify your resources by creating other stress of income that can back up your salary.

For countries with very strong labour laws, it's practically impossible to delay workers salary. It's even better to lay them off or cut down their salary with a prior notice.

This is not possible in Nigeria. It is a common norm here to be experiencing delay salary. Even government workers are not exempted from this problem.

The only thing one can do it to quit the job and search for a new job. In the private sector here this is mostly seen and one cannot do anything with it.

Yes especially state government workers. Most states are still owing their workers for over 6 months and there's no hope of getting the funds.

Even if you have another income source, when your salary is delayed, you have to take actions to make sure it is not a common occurrence. I declare strike whenever my salary is outstanding.

Hahaha it's the most direct way if negotiating with employers especially in this side of the world. It's either you get your money or you get sacked.
