When will I know?

How often do employers say they will let you know when you got the job but still haven’t given you an answer? It’s been a week and I should find out if or not today but haven’t yet?

While your question has been removed, it would probably be allowed with a bit of tweaking.
Repost ensuring you've not asked;
As well as being interesting and unique, questions must -
Have a genuine, clear, and concise question in their title - including a question mark.
Ensure you can say your question title to someone at a bus stop and have them understand what you mean. So for example, no "Overseas Territories?", instead it should be "What Overseas Territories have you been to?".
Enough information in the body of your post to allow users to give good answers. Specifically, don't just repeat the question in the body. Provide an elucidation, example, or explanation.

Keep on keeping on, time waits on no one at all.

I would say a week is moving into the territory that you didn’t get or they have offered to someone else, and you are reserve. The person who was offered may be negotiating and so they don’t wanna reject you yet.
Or they just will never get back in touch.
Don’t be afraid to chase up and ask.

True but this job had 20 vacancies and don’t want to seem too impatient

If I'm really keen on the job I tend to leave it a fortnight then send an email asking for feedback on my interview or if the recruitment process is still ongoing. Most of the time you'll just get an email saying you were unsuccessful, but once I got a response that the owner was off unexpectedly so recruitment was paused, so at least I knew what was going on.

This has been a 4 day working week for many companies, with staff taking holidays around the fri-mon days. Good chance decision-makers may be on holiday.

It could be one week or it could be never. Just keep applying to other stuff.

You may never know. You don't wait on them - you keep applying elsewhere.
