Every year, employees eagerly anticipate months with three pay periods, which provide them with an additional paycheck and boost their financial stability. In 2025, several months will have the fortune of accommodating three pay periods, offering workers a welcome financial advantage.
The occurrence of three pay periods in a month is attributed to the alignment of the monthly calendar with the weekly pay schedule. Typically, employees are paid bi-weekly, meaning they receive their salaries every other Friday. However, when a month begins on a Thursday or Friday and ends on a Wednesday or Thursday, it encompasses three pay periods instead of the usual two.
