How many paychecks biweekly in 2011

Please advice. I think it all depends on when your payroll period starts and what your paydays are. There is no special configuration required for 53 weeks normally. Only if you are processing a particular function at the end of month, and you are considering 4th week as the last pay period, it will not be correct.

Do you have any other way where we can deal from this problem. No year has exactly 26 biweekly periods a year is not exactly 52 weeks and with a biweekly payroll, you typically have either 26 or 27 pay-days in a given year.

If you are trying to actually pay the employees for the 53 weeks in the same calendar year, then I think you are out of luck unless you do significant customizing. We run biweekly pay in both Canada and the US and have never been concerned about anything like this. Taxation is based on when the employees are actually paid and in every year, there are invariably a few days that are worked in one year and paid in the next.

Please explain in more detail exactly what you are trying to do and why and then maybe I can come up with some suggestions. No Account? Sign up. By signing in, you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Already have an account?

However, those that skip certain deductions on the 27th check of the year when they happen would also be correct, as the amount for benefits is generally calculated using the factor of 26, thus 27 deductions would create overpayment. Be careful with this one!

Dan, I agree with you that the employee has worked those days, and morally should be paid for them. That is why I somewhat facetiously suggested that they not require the employees to work the extra days if they are not going to be paid for them. They are only legally obligated to pay hourly employees per the hours they work, no matter what the annual total is. Therefore, the issue is not how many days the employee works, but that salaried employees should in their minds not be paid more than their salary, so they think they can save some money by not paying the extra period.

My college has abandoned the idea of skipping a payroll in to deal with the problem. It has also rejected a return to the old system of paying faculty once a month. No Account? Sign up.

We had 27 pays in There is an unusual wage issue for that will affect many employers that pay exempt employees on a bi-weekly basis rather than weekly, semi-monthly or monthly.

With 52 weeks in a year, there normally are 26 bi-weekly pay periods in a calendar year. In , however, there will be 27 for many employers. This oddity occurs every 11 years. In short, it happens because 26 bi-weekly paychecks only cover days in a year, not or in Leap Years. The extra pay period is more than just an oddity. It raises a dilemma for those employers that pay exempt employees on a bi-weekly basis — either pay employees more than intended, or face a possible wage payment claim.

If an employer were to pay exempt employees the same amount in each bi-weekly paycheck in as in , it would effectively give each of those employees two additional weeks of pay in
