2026 Payroll Frequency Change

We have an important change to our 2026 payroll schedule. We will be transitioning from a biweekly pay frequency (paid every two weeks – 26 pays per year) to a semimonthly pay frequency (paid twice per month – 24 pays per year).

The last biweekly pay date is December 18, 2025. Starting in January, the new pay dates will be the 9th and 23rd every month. Please see our initial FAQs on this topic.
