Working days and paydays
At eight hours a day, the 21 working days add up to 168 hours.
Biweekly paydays depend on the Friday your pay cycle started. If it began on Friday, January 1, 2027, you are paid on December 3, 17 and 31, 2027. On the other cycle, a week later, payday is December 10 and 24, 2027. That makes December a three-paycheck month on the first cycle. Paydays on December 24 (Christmas Day) and December 31 (New Year's Day) fall on bank holidays, so the money may arrive the business day before. Semi-monthly pay on the 15th and the last day comes on Wednesday, December 15, 2027 and Thursday, December 30, 2027. December 31 is the New Year's Day holiday, and most employers then pay on the business day before.
