The term âpay periodâ refers to the frequency with which an employer chooses to pay employees and contractors. Common pay periods include weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, and monthly, with the most common frequencies being bi-weekly and semi-monthly. Preferred pay periods vary from business to business, but are often mandated by state law.
A semimonthly payroll requires less payroll processing than a biweekly payroll since it happens only 24 times per year. Also, when you factor in leap years, which have 366 days instead of 365, over the course of several years, the extra days add up and require biweekly employees to receive an extra paycheck, amounting to 27 pay periods instead of 26. This does not happen with a semimonthly payroll, which always happens 24 times per year.
