Biweekly - BW
Biweekly employees are paid by the hour, receive a paycheck every two weeks, and are nonexempt, which means they are eligible for overtime. The biweekly work week is Friday through Thursday (specifically 11:01pm Thursday - 11:00pm the following Thursday). The biweekly pay period is two work weeks and is paid two weeks in arrears every other Thursday. In general, biweekly employees are on positive time reporting, which means their hours must be entered into SAP to be paid. Biweekly leave-eligible employees must account for all hours based on their FTE with time worked or leave.
Monthly - MO
Monthly employees are paid an agreed salary monthly and are exempt, which means they are not eligible for overtime. The monthly pay period is the first day of the month through the last day of the month and paid on the last working day of the current month they are being paid for. In general, monthly employees are on negative time reporting, which means they are automatically paid their salary each month based on their SAP Work Schedule Rule (IT0007) without having to enter their hours into SAP. Leave time, however, must be entered for absences.
Review an employee's Time Management Status in SAP (IT0007) to confirm if the employee is on positive or negative time reporting; "Time eval (act)" indicates positive and "Time eval (plan)" indicates negative.
