Best thing any boss can do is tell the employees if there will be a delay. If it’s a real-time job, send a memo or tell them in person. Online job, send message or email. That shows honesty.
Dodging questions, ignoring inquiries, hiding behind desks or straight up silent treatments will always, always, always look guilty. Employees will lose trust.

The employees are also humans, so i believe in some ways it is their right, they have every right to know when there is a delay in payment and why the delay as well if possible after all they worked for it. It would be very painful if they keep on hoping that their pay Would come on a specific time only to be disappointed

When staff gets an increment on his or her pay is it necessary to tell the staff why that happened or will happen, that is the same way vice versa. it will make people not just your staff but people at large believe in you when you say something or step out with information and not be doubtful of your words.
