how many pay periods in a year if you get paid biweekly
Here are the most common pay period durations, and the number of paychecks per year under each of these systems: Bi-weekly: A bi-weekly paycheck is issued every other week. There are 26 bi-weekly pay periods in a typical year. However, due to a phenomenon sometimes called âpayroll creepâ, once every eleven years there will be a 27th bi-weekly payroll. This is because 26 periods only account for 364 days out of the year (26 * 14 days), thus, along with the extra days added due to leap years, the periods will eventually align with the calendar to add a 27th paycheck.
