2027 Monthly Pay Period Calendar
A monthly schedule pays 12 times in 2027 — the only frequency whose count never varies. The interesting dates are at the ends of months: in 2027 the January, February, May, July, August and October month-ends fall on weekends, and December 31 is the observed New Year's Day (because January 1, 2028 is a Saturday). Both tables below use the previous-workday rule; the generator switches rules and day-of-month.
Six of the twelve month-ends move under the previous-workday rule — the highlighted rows in Schedule A below. December's check pays Thursday, December 30 because Friday, December 31 is the observed New Year's Day for 2028.

Notes on the year-end
December 31, 2027 is a Friday, but it is not a workday on the federal calendar: it is the observed New Year's Day for 2028, since January 1, 2028 falls on a Saturday. An employer following the previous-workday rule pays the December check on Thursday, December 30. The 15th-of-month schedule is untouched by holidays in 2027 — its only weekend collision is Saturday, May 15, which pays Friday, May 14 under the same rule.
