Benefits Deduction Holiday - Biweekly Benefits-Eligible Employees
View PDF

Starting in 2022, most benefits deductions are now deducted over 24 pay periods instead of 26 pay periods for non-exempt, benefits-eligible employees who are paid on a biweekly basis.  Benefits deductions are now only taken from the first two paychecks of each month.  This results in a “benefits deduction holiday”, typically twice a calendar year, when three biweekly pay dates fall within the same month. 

The remaining biweekly benefits deduction holiday in 2022 is: 

  • September 30, 2022 

On these dates, your take-home pay will likely be higher.  Please note that percentage-based deductions, retirement plan deductions, garnishments, and other mandated deductions such as taxes are always taken from every paycheck.
