How to annoy your employees

I don't know what it is like in your industry, but in the Architectural world, there is this general rule of paying your employees on the absolute last day of the month. Which is fine, unless something goes wrong the the transaction Fails.

It does however, make ones employees feel like something of a grudge purchase. You know I happy came to work and took issues all month, but I can tell that your really don't feel like paying me for the work i've done. Some times I feel like telling people who are considering the industry to turn around and consider banking or something.
