There are multiple pay frequencies an employer can pay employees. Among these, one of the most common pay periods is the semi-monthly payroll. Unlike a bi-weekly pay period, the employer pays his or her employees two times a month – generally, on the 15th and the end of the month.
The semi monthly payroll calendars can help employers when they’re going to pay their employees but the employer must determine the days of the payment.
In our semi-monthly payroll calendar, we designated the pay pay as the 15th and the last day of each month during 2024.
