Aerospace & Defense payroll schedules

Why aerospace & defense employers cluster around biweekly payroll

A biweekly payroll schedule pays employees every other week, producing 26 paychecks per year. Two months out of the year contain three paydays. Biweekly is the single most common cadence in the United States and is standard for salaried employees at most large industrial, healthcare, and consumer-products employers.

Within the aerospace & defense sector, this pattern reflects the underlying labor mix: a workforce that is predominantly a blend of hourly operations staff and salaried professionals. Employers in this group also benefit from a single, predictable payroll close, which simplifies tax filings, benefits accruals, and end-of-period accounting. State law sets a floor (most states require at least semimonthly payroll for non-exempt staff), but large multi-state employers generally adopt the most generous cadence company-wide for simplicity. See the NCSL state payday-law summary for the underlying rules.
