i've seen payroll done in many different companies....and i'm pretty sure bi-weekly means every 2 weeks (26 pay periods in a year) and semi-monthly is twice a month (24 pay periods in a year)....

 

[NES]

bi-weekly could meen either twice a week or once every two weeks according to Merriam-Webster

 

[shdw01]

IRS says biweekly is once every two weeks....

not saying they are the final say in definitions, but in my world, what the IRS says is final

yep, that's why I made that post in the RR "Douche" thread

As for the hokey definition provided by NES (from a trustworthy source) we must recall that the "Bi-Centennial" was the celebration of two centuries, not half a century

Wierd



Like NES




And Shadow





And okay....Me

bi-weekly means every other week, or twice a week. Pretty gay but it's true it can mean either. Don't care enough to post the definition though.
