If payday falls on a weekend or holiday, what is the normal procedure?

When payday coincides with a weekend or holiday, the standard procedure is to process payment on the previous workday. This ensures that service members receive their pay without unnecessary delays. The purpose of this practice is to maintain regular payment schedules and provide financial consistency for personnel, particularly those who may rely on timely pay for their daily needs.

Paying on the previous workday allows the financial system to accommodate for days when banks and military finance offices are closed, ensuring that service members have access to their funds without interruption. This procedure supports the Navy's commitment to taking care of its personnel by prioritizing their financial well-being and ensuring they receive their due compensation in a timely manner, even when official payment dates are affected by non-working days.

The alternative options, such as pushing the payday to the following Monday or leaving pay unfunded, do not reflect the established practices aimed at safeguarding the financial interests of service members.
