If you work every week of the year, you will work 52 weeks. If you get paid every week, you will receive 52 paychecks. If you get paid every two weeks, you will receive 26 paychecks. If you get paid twice a month, you will receive 24 paychecks. I don't see why you say there are only 48 working weeks. Actually there are 52 weeks and 1 day in a year (unless it's a leap-year - then it's 52 weeks and 2 days). The other 4 weeks are "paid annual holidays" which you don't physically have to work but still get paid for.

Average number of work weeks per year is?

i know that there are 48 - 50 working weeks per year.Correction (at least in Australia) - there are 52 working weeks per year.Standard industrial relation laws in Australia at least mandate that workers can enjoy 4 weeks paid annual leave per year taken either during periods set by the company or at their convenience, leaving most people working only 48 of the 52 working weeks.This is important to note due to salary calculations as annual salary relates to the full 52 working weeks per year. (ie: If you get paid a total salary of $52,000 per year your hourly rate would be $52,000 / 52 weeks = $1,000 per week / 38 hours per week = $26.32 per hour)
