Problem

You chose to pay the wages bi-weekly (or weekly). Normally that means 26 (or 52) payouts per year. The year 2026 however has 53 weeks instead of 52 and thus an extra half kinsena (or week) must be paid out.

Week 1 of 2026 and the first kinsena starts on Monday December 29th, 2025.

Week 53 in 2026 is from Monday, December 28th, 2026 till Sunday, January 3th, 2027.

Cause

Every year has 52 whole weeks plus 1 or 2 extra days. These extra days result in 53 numbered weeks in some years. The year 2026 is one such year.

Solution

Possible solutions are:

1) Pay the wage for week 53 as an addition in the "Extra" run of Week 51-52".

2) Pay the wage for week 53 as an addition in the period "Extra 1".

For this you must first enable the option for extra periods:

- Click on: "Company info & Options"
- Click on: "Parameters"
- Place a check mark at "Options" at: "Extra periods"
