Review your check dates for the new year
The calendar shifts annually. Over time, this will cause an extra check date periodically, based on when your check date falls.
Weekly Payrolls
Typically 52 check dates; some years may have 53.
Bi-weekly Payrolls
Typically 26 check dates; some years may have 27.
If your pay schedule results in additional pay dates during the upcoming year
- Review deductions for benefits, including medical, dental, vision, and other plans. Insurance carriers typically bill on a monthly or annual basis and may not automatically adjust for extra pay periods.
- Decide how you would like to handle benefit deductions for the year (continue standard deductions or adjust to spread deductions across all pay dates).
- Enter your employee deduction changes accordingly. If you need assistance, communicate any deduction changes to your Payroll Support Team before processing your first payroll of the new year.
