When a holiday occurs on a biweekly pay day, paychecks are distributed the last business day before the holiday.
Any overtime is calculated on the basis of the work week in which extra working hours occur.
Should either of these dates fall on a weekend or holiday, paychecks are distributed on the last business day before the normal pay date. Special payments for professional services, honoraria, etc. are included in regular paychecks and, like regular pay, are subject to all government withholdings. Any overtime for technical and support staff who are paid semimonthly is calculated on the basis of the work week in which extra working hours occur. Otherwise, salaries for nine, ten, or eleven month recurring assignments are paid over twelve months. The normal work week for full-time staff is considered to be 40 hours.
