Required information Example: Period Gross Pay, Salaried Employee Employee Chinson earns an annual salary of $24,000 and is paid semimonthly. Period gross pay = $24,000

Required information

Example: Period Gross Pay, Salaried Employee

Employee Chinson earns an annual salary of $24,000 and is paid semimonthly.

Period gross pay = $24,000 / 24 = $1,000 gross pay

For pay periods with holiday hours: determine the amount paid per day, multiply by the number of days applicable to each pay.

Annual salary: $24,000 / (52 5) = $24,000 / 260 = $92.30769 (rounded to 5 decimal points) per day.

After the gross pay has been calculated, round the result to only two decimal points prior to calculating taxes or other withholdings. Employees are paid for the following holidays occurring during the final quarter:

Thanksgiving day and the day after, Thursday and Friday, November 2829.
Christmas, which is a Wednesday. Employees receive holiday pay for Tuesday, December 24, and Wednesday, December 25.
