Watch for Pay Period Leap Year in 2015 if You Get Paid Bi-Weekly

We all know how leap years add an extra day to the year every four years.

So check with your payroll department.

Different employers handle this in different ways.

Likewise with PTO that accrues by the pay period or week.

If you are paid monthly, or semi-monthly this doesn’t apply to you.

If you are paid weekly, your “leap year” happens every 5 or 6 years.

I believe 2015 is only a leap year if your pay period ends on Sunday.

Some may experience it the next year, or some may have even had it this year already.
