Don't some companies already run salary in thirteen four week periods? I've worked at at least one that did.

I'm not 100% sure, but in the US, this is relatively rare, as it's required in most situations to be paid at least 2 times per month.

I think all but 5 states have laws dictating pay frequency, and in most cases they require at least two times a month pay frequency.

The most popular pay schedules tend to be 24, 26, and 52 times per year.

I would like you to explain to me what the situation is in which you imagine that being paid every 2 weeks would result in you being paid less than twice a month.

Where did you get this? I have a friend who's paid monthly at his salaried software engineering gig.

Not 13, but I am paid in 26 two-week periods.

I got paid that way in CA for years. But that was 20 years ago.
