Midsummer’s Eve is not a banking day, even though the calendar lists it as a regular weekday. In employment contracts, Midsummer’s Eve is typically designated as a public holiday.
When we pay you your earnings-related daily allowance, the money will be in your account within two banking days. A banking day is a day when the bank is open and can process the payment transaction. Midsummer’s Eve is not a banking day, so this affects the processing of the payment.
Normally, banking days work as follows: if we send you a payment on Tuesday, for example, the money will be in your account within two banking days, on Thursday. If we send you a payment on Thursday, the money will not be in your account until Monday, because Saturday and Sunday are not banking days.
Midsummer’s Eve, 19.6.2026, is a Friday. Since Friday is not a banking day, this affects payment schedules. The daily allowance paid on Wednesday, 17.6.2026, will not be in your account until Monday, 22.6.2026, due to Midsummer’s Eve. The daily allowances paid on Thursday, 18.6.2026, and on Midsummer’s Eve will be in your account on Tuesday, 23.6.2026.
