When searching for a graduate program, look for schools that are equally strong in computer science and engineering. MIT is still the leader here, but other schools like the University of Washington and Texas A&M University have built on their strong engineering programs to integrate computer science.
Bi-Weekly Pay. With a bi-weekly pay schedule, workers receive a check every two weeks. The company chooses a set day, such as Thursday or Friday, and issues payment every other week on that day. With a bi-weekly pay schedule, employees receive the equivalent of 26 paychecks during a standard year (52 weeks divided by two). With a bi-weekly pay schedule, two months out of the year produce three paychecks.
Employers in the United States generally pay their employees weekly, biweekly, semimonthly or monthly. State law usually dictates the time frame that employees must be paid by; an employer can pay more frequently but not less. Some employers pay employees on a biweekly and/or semimonthly basis. Some key differences exist between the two. The main difference between a biweekly and semimonthly payroll is that biweekly happens every two weeks while semimonthly occurs twice per month, such as on the 15th and final day of the month.
