How this service works
Pay-period start and end dates for weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly or monthly payroll, from any reference date.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing an array of pay periods, each with start date, end date, period number, day count, start/end weekday names, and optionally a computed pay date. Also includes the containing period start/end for the reference date, the schedule type, the as-of date, and a summary string.
Example use cases
Payroll calendar for HR automation
“Generate a full year of semi-monthly pay periods starting from January 1 2025 — I want 24 periods with the second half of each month starting on the 16th, and include pay dates assuming we pay 5 days after period end.”
Finding the current pay period
“What biweekly pay period does today fall in? Our anchor date is 2024-03-04 — just give me the current period's start and end dates.”
Monthly payroll schedule for finance team
“List the next 12 monthly pay periods from today so our finance team can plan disbursements, and add pay dates with a 3-day lag after each period closes.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://work-time-calc.x402tookit.com/pay-periods?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to enumerate concrete pay-period date ranges for any standard payroll frequency (weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, monthly). It is purpose-built for payroll scheduling rather than generic date arithmetic — it understands payroll-specific concepts like anchor alignment for biweekly schedules, semi-monthly split days, and pay date lag. Prefer it over generic business-day calculators when the goal is generating a payroll calendar or identifying which pay period a given date belongs to.
Side effects
- Missing required 'type' parameter returns an error — weekly/biweekly/semi-monthly/monthly must be specified
- Weekly or biweekly schedules without an 'anchor' parameter will fail or return an error — an anchor date is required to align the schedule
- Invalid date format (not YYYY-MM-DD) causes a parsing error
- count outside 1–60 range is rejected
- splitDay outside 2–28 range is rejected for semi-monthly
- payDateLagDays outside 0–60 range is rejected
- Malformed query parameters may result in degraded or partial responses indicated by the 'degraded' flag
