About Biweekly Pay Periods
A biweekly pay period runs for exactly 14 calendar days (two 7-day workweeks). Employees on a biweekly schedule receive 26 paychecks per year. Two months each year will have three paychecks instead of two.
Overtime is calculated per workweek (7-day period), not per pay period.
Week 1 OT = MAX(0, Week 1 Hours − 40) × Rate × OT Multiplier
Week 2 OT = MAX(0, Week 2 Hours − OT Threshold) × Rate × OT Multiplier
Biweekly Pay = Week 1 Pay + Week 2 Pay
Week 1 OT = MAX(0, Week 1 Hours − 40) × Rate × OT Multiplier
Week 2 OT = MAX(0, Week 2 Hours − OT Threshold) × Rate × OT Multiplier
Biweekly Pay = Week 1 Pay + Week 2 Pay

Is overtime calculated per pay period or per workweek? +
Under the FLSA, overtime is always calculated on a workweek basis — a fixed, regularly recurring 168-hour period (7 consecutive 24-hour days). You cannot average hours across two weeks for overtime purposes. If you work 50 hours in Week 1 and 30 in Week 2, you are owed 10 hours of OT for Week 1, even though the biweekly total is 80 hours (same as 40/40 with no OT).
How do I handle a partial pay period (new hire or termination)? +
For partial pay periods, only enter hours for the days actually worked. Overtime still applies to any workweek (7-day period) where hours exceed the threshold — even if those days are at the start or end of a pay period. Final paychecks must include all earned wages in most states, including any accrued PTO depending on state law.
