I've been paid late before, by a day or two. It makes everyone feel a lack of competence. I've also been paid early, again a day or two (mainly when payday comes on a weekend or public holiday). It makes everyone feel a sense of trust and value. If the former, it seems like a basic lack of respect and empathy. I go foot over back to make sure my staff feel comfortable. This doesn't mean having food or massages as perks, it does mean at the least paying on time and replying (answers, not excuses) to concerns quickly.
