Biweekly means every two weeks that should be around 24 pay periods.
There are 52 weeks in a year and therefore 52 pay periods for an employee being paid weekly.
If there were no leap years this would occur only every 7 years (as there are 52 weeks and 1 day in each non-leap year). In reality you will have 53 pay periods (or 27 pay periods if you are a fortnightly payer) every 5 or 6 years. E.g. In Australia... If your payday is Thursday this year (2010) you will have 53 pay periods this financial year in Australia (1st July to 30 June), the next time this will occur is in the 2016 financial year.
Paid once a month (12 pay periods per year)
Paid twice a month (24 pay periods a year)
You get payed twice a month so over the corse of a year you get payed 24 times or 24 pay periods.
Semimonthly - 24 pay periods a year Bi Weekly - 26 pay periods a year. Number of Withholdings an payovers equal pay periods
there r 52 weeks.. so biweekly would make 104 pay periods No, you divide 52 by 2 if you are paid biweekly, therefore there are 26 pay periods in a year. There would be 104 pay periods if you were paid twice a week, not paid once every 2 weeks.
Paid every 2 weeks (26 pay periods per year)
26
26 not 24, there are 52 weeks in a year which is more accurate than 12 months * 2 if you actually work a full year, you'd lose 2 pay periods for no reason...
The next year.
