There won’t be a specific date across firms. You should speak to your firm and ask when it will be paid as different firms have different policies/processes on this.
It’s a very reasonable question to ask so I really would worry about asking.

Is it the Ben Staveley one? I only know this as I worked with Ben and benefitted massively from his advice on writing and I have a copy of this which I regularly refer to even now

I think it just helps in general rather than for vacation schemes specifically. It won't really cover how to structure documents etc - it is purely a grammar book that tells you the correct way of writing and the common ways in which things are written incorrectly, and therefore what's the proper way the write certain words and phrases.

For any non-UK students/graduates in our community....
This has been kept super quiet by the UK Government, but a new visa launches at the end of this month called the High Potential Individual visa.
It allows anyone who has studied at a university that ranks highly in global rankings (top 50 in two or more of the recognised ranking systems) to obtain a visa and live in the UK for up to 2 years (3 years if you have studied at a PhD level).
The good thing about the visa is that it doesn't require you to be sponsored by an employer, meaning there is no cost to the employer to hire you. The downside though is that you have to cover the costs yourself (£715 + healthcare surcharge). If your degree was not studied in English, then you also need to show you have passed a B1 level of a recognised language test.
You also don't need a job lined up. Your visa effectively allows you to come to the UK to do whatever you want during that time.
Unsurprisingly there is a huge lack of information from the UK Government on this at the moment - only a list of the universities you need to have studied at (and you have to look at the year you graduated from that school) - High Potential Individual visa: global universities list - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). However, you may want to look at something like this that explains the visa in a little more detail: New U.K. High Potential Individual Visa (HPI) - SBNRI
