When employees are paid every two weeks they are on a bi-weekly payroll. The actual day of payment is up to the employer. With a bi-weekly payroll, hours are generally calculated based on the last two weeks worked. An employee who worked a full two weeks will generally be paid for 80 regular hours. Salaried employees on a bi-weekly payroll are paid the same amount every two weeks. Taxes are computed on a bi-weekly basis, and are deducted from the employee's check based on two weeks of pay. The employer's federal and state taxes are paid every two weeks as well.
Definition. A semimonthly monthly happens twice per month -- typically, on the 15th and the last day. A biweekly payroll occurs every other week and usually includes a standard 80-hour workweek, particularly for salary employees.
