These employees are usually put on a 40-hour workweek. To figure hours for a semi-monthly salaried employee, multiply 40 hours by 52 weeks, which comes to 2,080 hours. Then, divide 2,080 by 24 annual semi-monthly pay periods to arrive at 86.67 hours for the pay period. To figure salary for the pay period, divide annual salary by 24 semi-monthly pay periods.
Divide the gross semi-monthly salary for a full pay period by the number of calendar days in that pay period. A semi-monthly gross pay of $2,000 equates to a daily rate of $133.33 in a pay period with 15 days. In a pay period with 16 days, the daily rate would be $125. In February a pay period could have 13 or 14 days, which translates to daily rates of $153.85 or $142.86.
