Did you know that twice a year there's a third pay date in a month on our biweekly pay schedule? GRCC follows a biweekly pay schedule - which is not the same as bimonthly. Bimonthly is twice a month, or 24 pay dates. We are biweekly - every two weeks, which means 26 pay dates. So twice a year there's a third pay date in a month instead of the typical two in a month. One of the third-pay-date months this year is in August on 8/29/25 (the last one was on 1/31/25). Keep in mind that items like health insurance premiums are not deducted on third pay dates, so your pay amount may be somewhat different than what you normally see. You can always reference the Payroll Schedule to keep on top of the dates. And don't forget to review your pay stubs in your Online Center anytime so you can compare pay breakdowns.
