How do Semi-Monthly Pay Schedules work?

Our Semi-Monthly Pay Schedules are established based on desired check date. The check date options are detailed below:
- 1st and 15th  
- 15th and EOM
- Choose a first check date between 2nd and the 14th, your second check date would fall between the 16th and the 28th

Since semi-monthly pay periods are derived from your first desired check date, your pay period will end prior to your check date according to your funding schedule.
