Why are there 14 entries?
A biweekly period contains two complete seven-day weeks.
When should I recalculate with the Biweekly Timesheet Calculator?
Recalculate whenever the hours, rates, schedule, pay period, policy assumptions, or planned usage changes. Saving the exact inputs makes comparisons more reliable.
