It is only in a lawless country or organization that you find the management delaying payments without any prior notice. Payments are to be made when due and if there are any issues, the employees should be notified. It enables employees to further plan themselves towards when the payment would be made and also improves employees to management relationship

Asking if it's necessary to communicate delay in salary with employee, that is the best, so many employees already plan how to spend their salary, if there is any change in it, just communicate the reason to them and apologize

True, telling them the exact problem would only cause issues and might even affect the flow of production as most workers might start working with fear and doubt in the credibility of the company. Have you found yourself in a situation like that before?
