What is a Bi-Weekly Payroll?

Bi-weekly payroll refers to a system of paying employees every two weeks, rather than every week or every month. This means that employees will receive 26 paychecks per year, rather than 52 paychecks if paid weekly or 12 paychecks if paid monthly.

In a bi-weekly payroll system, employees are typically paid on a specific day of the week, such as every other Friday. Employers will calculate the employee's gross pay, which includes the employee's base salary and any additional compensation, such as overtime pay or bonuses, and deduct any applicable taxes and other deductions.

Bi-weekly payroll is a common practice in many companies and organizations. It allows employees to receive a more regular and predictable income, which can be beneficial for budgeting and managing expenses. It also allows employers to better forecast and manage their payroll expenses.

It is important to note that some states have specific laws regarding the frequency of pay, and some states require employers to pay employees at least twice a month.
