how many vacation hours per pay period
An employee normally works 8 hours a day x 5 days a week is 40 hours a week x 52 weeks in a year is 2080 working hours per year. Here is a breakdown of the number of hours per pay period: Weekly (Paid 52 times a year) is 2080 hrs / 52 times = 40 hours per pay period. Bi-Weekly (Paid 26 times a year) is 2080 hrs / 26 times = 80 hours per pay period. Semi-Monthly (Paid 24 times a year) is 2080 hrs/ 24 times = 86.67 hours per pay period.
On average, those with paid time off in the U.S. receive only 13 days of vacation and eight paid holidays, according to the Center for Economic Policy and Research study. For most European countries, the legally mandated number of vacations day begins at 20, and the number of paid holidays can reach 13.
