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.
