Biweekly pay schedule 2026: every other Wednesday from Jan 7
Paid every other Wednesday, with the first Wednesday payday of the year on Wednesday, Jan 7, 2026. If your first January payday is Jan 14 instead, use the Jan 14 schedule.
Paydays that land on a weekend or bank holiday are shown on the business day before, which is what most employers do. Bank holidays follow the Federal Reserve calendar. Your employer's payroll calendar is the final word.
