Biweekly

Last updated

Biweekly means twice a week or every other week. [1] [2] This causes ambiguity when the term is used. As a result, in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Southern Africa, the term biweekly is commonly restricted to one meaning, twice a week, and fortnightly is used when referring to something that occurs once every two weeks.[ citation needed ]

In the US, a biweekly publication is issued every two weeks and a bimonthly publication is issued every two months.

Payroll

A company's payroll is the list of employees of that company that are entitled to receive pay and the amounts that each should receive. Along with the amounts that each employee should receive for time worked or tasks performed, payroll can also refer to a company's records of payments that were previously made to employees, including salaries and wages, bonuses, and withheld taxes, or the company's department that calculates and pays out these amounts. One way that payroll can be handled is in-house. This means that a company handles all aspects of the payroll process on its own, including timesheets, calculating wages, producing pay checks, sending the ACH, or Automated Clearing House, for any direct deposits, and remitting any tax payments necessary. Payroll can also be outsourced to a full-service payroll processing company. When a company chooses to outsource their payroll, timesheets, wage calculations, creating pay checks, direct deposits, and tax payments can be handled all, or in part, by the payroll company.
