Salary Payment Schedule
Salary Payment Schedule
Global Bank pays all employees on a monthly basis. This article provides the payment schedule, key payroll dates, and guidance on accessing payslips and resolving queries.
Payment Dates
Salaries are paid on the last working day of each calendar month by direct bank transfer (BACS in the UK, ACH in the US, GIRO in Singapore, SEPA in the EU). If the last day of the month falls on a weekend or public holiday, payment is made on the preceding business day.
2026 Payment Schedule

| January | 30 January (Friday) | 15 January |

Payroll Cut-Off
The payroll cut-off is the 15th of each month (or the preceding business day if the 15th falls on a weekend or public holiday). Any changes submitted after the cut-off will be processed in the following month's payroll. This includes:
- Overtime claims
- Expense reimbursements (submitted via Concur)
- Changes to bank account details
- Tax code changes
- Benefit elections or changes
Accessing Your Payslip
Payslips are available electronically through Workday. To access your payslip:
- Log in to Workday at workday.globalbank.com.
- Navigate to Pay > Payslips.
- Select the relevant pay period to view or download your payslip in PDF format.
Payslips are typically available 3 business days before the payment date. Global Bank does not issue paper payslips.
What Is Included in Your Monthly Pay
- Gross salary: Your contracted annual salary divided by 12.
- Overtime: Approved overtime payments (Grades 1–4 only).
- Allowances: Any applicable allowances (e.g., location allowance, shift allowance).
- Deductions: Income tax, National Insurance (or local equivalent), pension contributions, student loan repayments, benefit premiums, and any salary sacrifice arrangements.
Changing Your Bank Details
To update your bank account for salary payments:
- Log in to Workday and navigate to Pay > Payment Elections.
- Update your bank account details and submit.
- Changes must be submitted before the payroll cut-off to take effect in the current month.
For security reasons, all bank detail changes trigger a confirmation email to your registered email address. If you did not initiate the change, contact the Payroll Team immediately.
Payroll Queries
If you have a question about your pay, please follow these steps:
- Review your payslip in Workday and compare with previous months.
- Check whether any changes (e.g., benefit elections, tax code updates) may account for the difference.
- If the issue is unresolved, raise a payroll query through ServiceNow under Service Catalogue > HR & People > Payroll Query, or email the Payroll Team at payroll@globalbank.com.
