Biweekly means every 2 weeks.
Two weeks is 14 days, and there are 365 or 366 days in a year.
365%2F14=26%261%2F14 <---> 365=26%2A14%2B1
366%2F14=26%262%2F14 <---> 366=26%2A14%2B2
So, Leona will get at least highlight%2826%29 biweekly paychecks in a year.
However, 26%2A14days=364days after the first paycheck received in a year,
Leona will be getting another paycheck.
That could happen within the same 365-day or 366-day calendar year,
and that last paycheck could be the 27th paycheck she receives in that calendar year.
