How do you calculate your paydays if you're paid on a biweekly schedule?

An employee on a biweekly pay schedule receives a paycheck on the same day every other week. To calculate paydays on a biweekly schedule, add 14 calendar days to the last payday. Scheduling a repeating event in an application like Google Calendar can provide an easy reminder.

Employees who are on a biweekly schedule receive 26 paychecks during a calendar year. If the payday occurs on a holiday, the employer may choose to issue paychecks the day before the holiday. Signing up for direct deposit ensures that paychecks deposit on payday even if the employee is out of the office.
