Author: Alice Gilman. A calendar year and an employer's pay periods do not always coincide precisely. Approximately every 11 years, an employer that pays employees on a biweekly basis will have an extra pay period. An employer that pays employees on a weekly basis will have an extra pay period every five or six years.
Employers credit additional hours to their employees banks, usually every pay period. Most US employers offer their workers 10 paid holidays, 2 weeks vacation, two personal days, and 8 sick leave days per year. Under a PTO plan, the employees would be credited with 30 days paid time off instead (10+10+2+8). On a bi-weekly pay schedule (26 pay periods per year), employees would accrue an additional 1.3 days of PTO every two weeks.
