'Get' have tons of translations in Spanish. But in those sentences you can say:
Nos pagarán el viernes
Compraré eso cuando me paguen

As someone studying Spanish for over a year now AND being a native English speaker. I would suggest that there is no way to say that. They simply do not use that type of format for speaking (not that I have seen). When I first started studying Spanish a wise teacher once told me , "To learn a new language , the first step is always forgetting your old one and all of its rules."
For example: you said: I will buy the when I get paid.
I'll lay it out for you in English backwards from what they would say , which is something like :
Cuando me pagan voy a comprar eso.
When they pay me , I'm going to buy that.
The hardest part about learning a NEW language is forgetting the OLD rules and regulations of your other language. Learning to think in a different way is honestly the funnest part. Hope I helped a little , good luck and have fun!
