You'd have to pay daily to limit how 'in arrears' pay was.

Where I work all staff with a 'proper' salary are not paid a month in arrears, they are paid in the month for that month. Only hourly rate paid staff with variable hours are paid in arrears.

To be clear it's not the first 12k (12,570). It's 12k annually per tax year.
So in April it's 1047, as that's the start of the year. Increase that by the same each month and apply it to your cumulative earnings. Tax is paid on the remainder minus what you've already paid in previous months.
