anyone else getting additional 2 weeks pay this year?

[richardycc]

We get pay our 2weeks paycheck every other Thursday, and we just got paid today, and the next one is on the 18th, and then the following one is on 1/1/2009, because 1/1 is a holiday, so my company will pay us on the 12/31/08 instead. So we are in fact getting pay 27 paychecks this year. I?ve already done the math, so don?t try to tell me I am wrong. We are still getting pay 26 paychecks next year, and each paycheck is the annual salary amount / 26.

last I heard, salary was yearly, not weekly.

Holy Crap...I am in the same situation. My pay "Year" is from April - April though, so I probably won't be affected.

All I know is that I get 3 paychecks in December.

Which is by far, the most perfect month ever to get three paychecks.

 

[Joemonkey]

I get paid on the 1st and 15th of every month, so I always get 24 paychecks...

 

[CptCrunch]

I got paid 3 times in October for an extra paycheck. Went straight to savings as I'm used to living off 2 paychecks a month. Very nice little bonus.

This...

..and the likelihood that he'll probably be posting next year pissed off because his company isn't giving him a paycheck on 12/31.

 

[meltdown75]

Your paycheck on 1/1 is the 26th of the 2008 year. 26 paychecks/12 months means two months of the year you will received three pay checks.

No, he's correct. Some employers who pay bi-weekly on a Thursday schedule will have a 27 payday anomaly this year if their employer chooses to pay early due to the holiday.

Dec. 18th will be his 26th paycheck. Dec. 31st will be his 27th.

Then base on that anomaly, shouldn't each paycheck be 1/27th of their salary? Or is the 1/1 paycheck 1st of 26 for 2009?

 

[BurnItDwn]

I get paid once per month. Used to get paid every 2 weeks before I was on salary. Monthly is better, less effort.

Only if their company accounted for it. Most companies do not.

we already had our 2 three paychecks months back in 1/08 and 7/08, this 12/08 is the extra rare unexpected one this year.

 

[jlee]

this and if my employer could get away with paying me under the table with a wad of cash, he would.

Next year might. It's a 53 week pay year if you company pays out on Fridays.

Note, next year is a 27 paycheck year for you thus I'm assuming the paycheck you are receiving on 12/31 is going to be 1/27 of your salary for next year.

If the company pays out on 12/31/2008, it gets reported as 2008 income. That makes 2008 a 27 paycheck year and 2009 a 26 paycheck year (the first reported paycheck as 1/08/2009)

 

[Ns1]

so uh is there any effect to me, a weekly employee, who gets paid every thursday?

 

[SpunkyJones]

All you guys talking about extra paychecks must not be married.

 

[Casawi]

Salary, and I get pay once month. So 12 times a year how ever you look at it.
