Overtime is calculated on a weekly basis, not per payroll, so as overtime is still calculated the same way.

How did the companies who pay employees semi-monthly address the issue of a payroll period that has 11 days? What about overtime for hourly employees? Thanks!

Each state regulates pay frequency and the amount of time that may lapse before wages must be paid after the pay period ends. States also vary between FLSA non-exempt v. exempt status employees as to whether or not they can be paid semi-monthly or not. Some are more strict than others; ex: Massachusetts more strict – Florida no provisions. You need to know the requirements of the state before making pay frequency policies.

Whether no o/t is allowed to be WORKED is a matter of company policy. Regardless of your pay frequency, you must have a defined workweek of 168 hours (seven days of 24 hours each) and if you work more than 40 hours in a defined workweek you must be paid overtime.

Over time there should be no difference.

Our company pays us semi-montly. Some of my co-workers believe they do this to pocket more of our money. Are there differences in the amount of taxes deducted from our payroll in a semi-monthly verses bi-weekly? How does the company benefit from either of these? Who benefits from either of these more?
