Payroll frequencies operated Since the introduction of the Payslip Statistics Survey back in 2008, the most commonly operated pay frequency has been monthly, and that trend continued into 2020. The second most popular pay frequency continues to be weekly. Last year, pay on demand was introduced as a pay frequency response option, and collected 0.7% of responses. In the space of just a year, this has increased to 1.07%. Whilst this is still a relatively small proportion of respondents, the amount that its use has grown over such a small period indicates this could be something that more and more employers choose to offer, particularly given the increased emphasis on financial awareness, exacerbated by the turbulence posed by the pandemic.
4% of respondents stated that employees within their business had actually submitted requests to be paid on demand, but the majority of 96% confirmed that no such requests had been made within their company.
