Most commonly, it is used to describe a pay schedule where employees receive their paycheck every other week, resulting in 26 paychecks per year.

How does working a biweekly schedule affect pay periods and time management for employees?

In roles where employees are paid on a biweekly basis, paydays occur every two weeks, typically resulting in 26 paychecks per year.
