biweekly pay

Every fourteen days

Biweekly pay is compensation issued every two weeks, resulting in 26 paychecks per year.

This differs from semimonthly pay, which comes twice a month (24 paychecks).

The distinction matters for budgeting: biweekly pay yields two "extra" paychecks annually.

Most hourly employees receive biweekly pay.
