What is semi monthly payroll?

I came across the term "semi-monthly payroll" while researching different payroll schedules. Can someone explain what it means exactly?

Semi-monthly Payroll implies that salaries are given out twice monthly, and the employees receive their salaries on daily recurring dates, such as the 15 th and the final day of the month. The outcome of this is that there are 24 payments per annum.

It is not like biweekly payroll that is paid twice a week (26 times in one year). The semi-monthly pay periods might be unfixed, in terms of days.

Semi-monthly payroll is a pay schedule or schedule within which employees receive payment twice in a month which is normally on specific days like the 15 th and the final day of the month. This leaves it with 24 pay periods a year. Approximately half a month is covered per paycheck although the number of the workdays per pay period can be changed.

Semi-monthly Part-time payroll refers to the payment of wages to employees on specific days once in every three months; such as 15 th and the final day of the month. This will create a number of 24 pay periods annually and each pay is approximately half a month of work.

A semi-monthly payment schedule pays workers twice a month on predetermined dates (for example, the first and fifteenth or the fifteenth and thirtyth), for a total of twenty-four paychecks annually. Usually, the sums represent equal monthly salary installments.

Semi-monthly payroll means employees are paid twice a month, usually on fixed dates such as the 15th and last day. This results in 24 pay periods per year. It differs from biweekly payroll, which gives 26 paychecks annually. Many companies prefer semi-monthly payroll to simplify salary calculations, deductions, and compliance with monthly financial reporting.
