For the first two weeks, I had to attend some courses from 9am to 5pm which are paid by the company. The courses are paid by the company provided that I passed. I passed and now I have to serve at least one year's bond.

My salary period is "calendar month".

The company said that I will receive the training allowance together with this month's salary at the end of this month.

My questions are:

1) Why will I be getting a training allowance instead of a normal salary?
2) Is it allowed for the company to delay the payment?

Obviously there is no point asking HR because I won't know if they are smoking me.
