Thanks, the new owner was asked politely annd informed of the previous arrangement, and the previous owner had also informed him beforehand, but it made no difference. He just said his accountant, and other people he spoke to,told him that wages are paid at the end of the working week not in advance. I guessed that I'd probably have accept that I wouldn't get paid in advance,but I needed to check.Thanks again for your advice. As for setting up a good relationship with his staff , he's not been helping matters ever since he took over but that's another matter!!! Thanks again
