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.
Deduction Deduction amounts are taken after taxes. Understanding âBi-Weeklyâ Pay A bi-weekly period consists of 10 working day, beginning Thursday and ending Wednesday. You are paid every 2 weeks, giving you 26 bi-weekly pay periods per year. This is different from a âSemi-monthlyâ pay frequency which pays twice every month for a total of 24 pay periods in the year. Because there are 26 bi-weekly pay periods in a year, two months in the year contain three bi-weekly pays. All applicable reductions and deductions will be taken out of the first two pay periods in the monthâ24 of the 26 bi-weekly pay periods in a year.
