Heads-up for December 2026

If you're paid every other Friday and one of your paydays falls on New Year's Day, most employers pay it on Thursday, December 31, 2026. For many people that's a 27th paycheck this year. The calendar shows how to check yours; your employer's payroll calendar is the final word.
