We have always recorded our payroll by the check date (not the date it drafts from the bank). We pay payroll every 2 weeks. This year, we end up with 27 checks. Well, that really messes with the budget, as we have always budgeted for 26 pay checks/year. Has anyone else run into this? What have you done? Trying to figure out what to do, besides the obvious of recording it, blowing the budget, and explaining why.

Thanks,

Next year you should have 25 checks.

You could modify your budget (with proper approval), by pulling in that one extra period from next year.

We used to have this situation. We found it better to change the date on the one check near the beginning or end of the year to keep each year having 26 checks.
