Dear Mr. Pope: This is in reply to your letter of July 8, 1999, to Mr. David H. Densmore requesting assistance concerning Union Pacific (UP) Railroad Guidelines for the Design and Construction of Grade Separation Underpass and Overhead Structures. I first must apologize for the delay in providing this response.
Temporary Flat-rate employees are paid on the last business day of the month with the exception of December, when the pay day is earlier in the month. Temporary Hourly Employees are paid on a bi-weeky pay schedule. Visit the Bi-weekly Payroll Calendar page for further information.
For some companies, instead of 52 weekly or 26 biweekly (every-other-week) paydays, there will be 53 or 27, respectively. In 2016, the leap day falls on a Monday. Payroll departments must generally account for this, but some donât plan ahead and will get into trouble.
