Bi weekly pay refers to a pay schedule in which employees are paid every two weeks or 14 days. This is usually for 80 hours of work for a full time employee, but will vary based on the actual amount of hours worked. The date or day of the week that the employee gets paid is up to the employer, but for many companies it is on Friday. Bi weekly pay differs from bi monthly pay where the employee is
. paid twice per month. It may sound the same, but a bi weekly employee is paid every 14 days regardless of how many days are in the month. Taxes for an employee that is paid bi weekly are deducted from the gross wages totaled from those two weeks. Someone who is on a salary will receive the same amount on their two week check regardless of how many hours that they worked during that time. Both salaried and hourly employees are typically paid at the same time because it is easier for the company to keep track of.
