half-monthly

Every two weeks

Half-monthly means occurring or produced twice a month: a half-monthly newsletter, half-monthly pay periods.

The term is synonymous with semimonthly and bimonthly, though bimonthly can also mean every two months, making half-monthly the clearer choice when you mean twice monthly.
