Es un formulario donde el afiliado al plan de jubilación debe marcar la frecuencia con que recibe su salario. Dice:
"Payroll Frequency (circle one):
Weekly
Bi-weekly
Semi-monthly"
Estoy confundida porque, hasta donde yo sé, biweekly y semimonthly signfican lo mismo: cada dos semanas, o sea, dos veces por mes.
Desde ya, muchas gracias.

: Hello Sonja! Bisemanal may lead to ambiguity since it may also mean twice a week

catorcenal/quincenal or bimensual
Dos semanas son catorce días/una quincena es la mitad de un mes. Aunque la diferencia parece nimia, lo que señala Luder es correcto: 26 y 24 pagos al año, respectivamente.

Ahora hice lío en el glosario... voy a preguntar cómo lo corrijo.
