Do actors expect pay on the same day as wrap up?

Jesus christ im falling to pieces. If I have a 1 day film shoot is it expected I pay them at the end of that day? Or is it no big deal to pay them next week?

Or maybe half now, half later?
 
Non-union actor, here. I expect to be paid net 30. I never expect that I
will be paid on the day of the shoot, UNLESS it was stated up front that I
would be paid on the day of the shoot.

SAG is a completely different story, depending on the agreement, etc.
 
You may possibly run into a little irritation if you had
an agreement that you would pay them on the day and now
you are not going to be able to. But that's to be expected from
anybody on any type of job, right?

But as long as you explain it and tell them when you are going to pay them,
everything should be fine.
