I agree with you @Shigobad2020 the employee should be informed as soon as it is known that the payment cannot be made on the stipulated date, in this way the employee will take the necessary measures and solve his financial situation in time while the payment arrives.

You are absolutely right, I have my job offline and when for some reason they suspend payment without warning, the consequences are not pleasant for the governing body. The employees even go on TV and radio denouncing it. And with the social networks the denouncements are unstoppable.
