Answer: Counting number of pay period dates between 2 numbers
- Determine the pay periods: In this case, the pay periods are on the 1st and 15th of every month.
- Calculate the number of months between the hire and terminated dates: You can use the DATEDIF function in Excel to calculate the number of months between two dates. For example, if the hire date is in cell A1 and the terminated date is in cell B1, you can use the formula =DATEDIF(A1,B1,"m").
- Multiply the number of months by 2: Since there are two pay periods per month, you need to multiply the number of months by 2 to get the total number of pay periods.
- Adjust for partial pay periods: If the hire or terminated date falls in the middle of a pay period, you need to adjust the total number of pay periods accordingly. For example, if the hire date is on the 5th of the month, you would only count one pay period for that month.
- Subtract any skipped pay periods: If the terminated date falls before the next pay period, you would not count that pay period. For example, if the terminated date is on the 10th of the month, you would not count the pay period on the 15th.
Here's an example formula that combines these steps:
Formula:
=IF(DAY(A1)<=15,2,1)+IF(DAY(B1)=15,2,1)+DATEDIF(A1,B1,"m")*2-IF(DAY(A1)15,1,0)-IF(DAY(B1)<15,1,0)
This formula assumes that the hire date is in cell A1 and the terminated date is in cell B1. It first checks if the hire date is before or after the 15th of the month, and adds 1 or 2 pay periods accordingly. It does the same for the terminated date. It then calculates the number of months between the two dates and multiplies by 2. Finally, it adjusts for any partial pay periods by subtracting 1 if the hire date is after the 15th and subtracting 1 if the terminated date is before the 15th.
