To determine when the pay period ends for a weekly pay schedule that pays every Friday, we can set up a table that shows the dates of paydays and the corresponding pay period end dates. Here’s how it typically works:
Payday (Friday) | Pay Period End Date |
---|---|
October 6, 2023 | October 1, 2023 |
October 13, 2023 | October 8, 2023 |
October 20, 2023 | October 15, 2023 |
October 27, 2023 | October 22, 2023 |
November 3, 2023 | October 29, 2023 |
Explanation:
- Payday: This is the day you receive your paycheck (Friday).
- Pay Period End Date: This is the last day of the work week that the paycheck covers (the Sunday before the payday).
For a weekly payroll that pays on Fridays, the pay period typically ends the Sunday prior to the payday.
