This article is about Justworks PEO and Payroll. What product am I using?
Generally, Justworks pays exempt salaried employees on the 15th and last day of every month. This is NOT biweekly. Therefore, there are 24 payments in a calendar year. To calculate the salary, take the annual amount and divide by 24.
Example: $50,000.00 (annual) / 24= $2,083.33 each pay-cycle (pre-tax)
However, non-exempt salaried employees are paid on a biweekly pay schedule, to coincide with hourly employees. This is because, as they are non-exempt, their hours need to be tracked using the timecards feature as well. These employees are paid biweekly, on every other Friday, for work performed the two weeks prior.
Example: $50,000.00 (annual) / 26 = $1,923.07 each pay-cycle (pre-tax)
Employers also do have the option to use the Exempt/Non-Exempt Wizard to move all of their employees to a biweekly pay frequency. In this scenario, exempt salaried employees would be paid along that frequency as non-exempt salaried employees, but would not require their hours to be tracked.
