Opinion Paper: The Non-Effect of 27 Payrolls in a Year.

• When employers have to pay salaried biweekly employees 27 times in one year, or pay salaried weekly employees 53 times in one year, they may think they should reduce the employee's salary so his annual pay remains the same. In my opinion this is not a valid practice, and this opinion paper explains why.
