Biweekly means once every two weeks or twice a week. Bimonthly means once every two months or twice a month. If something is âonce every two weeksâ as noted above, then it is twice a month (not twice a week). And, if something Bimonthly is âonce every two monthsâ it does not mean twice a month.
Payroll systems may use the term biweekly in reference to pay periods every two weeks. The terms fortnightly and biweekly are often mistakenly conflated with semimonthly. Thus a fortnight is 2 weeks or 14 consecutive days. Two weeks equals to 14 days. Derives from old english means fourteen night. 'Fortnight' comes from the old english, <i>feorwertyne niht,</i> which means '14 nights'.
