Biweekly pay schedule 2027: every other Friday from Jan 1
Paid every other Friday, with the first Friday payday of the year on Friday, Jan 1, 2027. If your first January payday is Jan 8 instead, use the Jan 8 schedule.
The payday scheduled for Friday, Jan 1, 2027 (New Year's Day) is deposited on Thursday, Dec 31, 2026, so it counts toward 2026.
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.
