How HoursPad works out the dates

HoursPad counts forward and back from the payday you type, in steps of 7 days (weekly) or 14 days (biweekly). Semi-monthly uses the 15th and the last day of each month. These are calculated dates, not your employer's official calendar: your employer or payroll office has that.

Your dates stay on your device. The .ics file is built in your browser, and each payday is one all-day event.

Questions

How many biweekly pay periods are in 2027?

For a first payday of Jan 8, 2027, HoursPad counts 26. It counts 27 when a payday falls on Fri, Jan 1, 2027.

Is biweekly the same as semi-monthly?

No. Biweekly is every 14 days, so the paydays slide through the calendar. Semi-monthly is two fixed dates a month, so it has 24 paydays in a year when paydays stay on the 15th and the last day. HoursPad has a separate semi-monthly calendar.

What if my pay period ends before payday?

Type the number of days between the last day of the pay period and payday. HoursPad then shows each 14-day pay period ending that many days before its payday.

Can I put the paydays on my phone?

Yes. Press "Add to phone calendar (.ics)" and open the file. Your calendar app asks to add the events. Each payday is one all-day event with its pay period in the notes.
