Differences – and therefore pros and cons – of weekly and biweekly pay are mostly psychological to the employee and therefore subjective.
Pros and Cons of Weekly Pay
Pros
- Weekly pay makes budgeting and saving easier.
- Generally, money is worth more today than in the future due to the time value of money. Therefore, getting paid weekly makes your paycheck of higher value than getting paid biweekly.
- If you are strapped for cash, you’d rather get paid weekly than biweekly.
- For some, it is more satisfying seeing results of their labor sooner rather than later.
- There’s a few months in a year where you get five paychecks instead of four.
Cons
- It might be more difficult to comfortably pay for larger expenses such as rent or car payments.
Pros and Cons of Biweekly Pay
Pros
- With a biweekly check, you can pay for larger expenses such as mortgage, rent or car payments more comfortably.
- There’s two months in a year where you’ll get three paychecks instead of two.
Cons
- Can cause financial distress when you need the money ASAP, e.g. for emergency reasons.
- It can be tempting to overspend once you get your paycheck and have to wait two weeks for the next pay.
Why do Some Companies Prefer Paying Biweekly?
There are a few reasons why some businesses may want to pay their employees on a weekly basis and most have to do with cost:
- It is more expensive to do payroll on a weekly basis than twice a month. By paying biweekly, companies may save thousands of dollars in payroll costs every year.
- There’s an opportunity cost in paying wages weekly where the money could have been used to generate more money, e.g., letting it sit in an interest bearing call account.
- Some companies borrow money for payroll purpose. The less frequent they borrowing from the bank, the less interest they have to pay.
