    This is nothing to do with emergency tax is it?

    Have you brought it to the attention of whoever is responsible for paying you? Are they disputing your rate of pay/hours of work and thinking they are correct or could this be a calculation error that they might admit to if it was highlighted?

    I would think you are entitled to be paid on an agreed date.

    http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employment/employment_rights_and_conditions/pay_and_employment/when_you_are_regularly_paid_late.html

    This web page goes through what a person should do if they are regularly paid late. However, since your employer has admitted the mistake, maybe give them a bit more of a chance before going down that line. I've worked for recruitment agencies who have messed up and have taken a while to sort out pay because of the "we can only pay on certain days" nonsense.
