Biweekly means fourteen days

Choose the first date of the period. A biweekly card covers fourteen consecutive dates, arranged in two seven-day groups. It is different from twice-monthly reporting, where periods follow chosen dates within a month and do not always contain fourteen days.

Use the period your record needs. The calculator does not prescribe an employer’s pay schedule. If a calendar-month card better matches your submission, choose Monthly rather than adjusting the meaning of a biweekly range.

Review the weeks separately

Separate weekly summaries make a mistaken date easier to spot. A record entered on the wrong side of the middle boundary can leave the cycle total unchanged while moving hours between the two weeks. Compare each week with its shift dates before relying on the combined result.

Keep overnight records intact

The whole completed shift belongs to its start date and that date’s reporting period. An overnight shift that starts on the final date of the first week remains in the first weekly summary, even if it ends in the second. The actual end date stays visible in the editor and export.

Before exporting

Frequently asked questions

Does biweekly mean twice each calendar month?

No. This tool uses fourteen consecutive dates, grouped into two weeks. Two periods defined within a calendar month are a different reporting schedule.

Why check both week totals when the cycle total looks right?

A shift entered in the wrong week can leave the fourteen-day total unchanged. The separate week summaries help reveal that date error.
