I am an hourly paid employee, that is paid on the 1st, and 15th of each month. Each two week pay period I receive 80 hours regular pay. When I do the math, I come up with 1920 hours a year, when actually I am working 2080. I tell my boss that the current paydays (1st, and 15th) is for salaried people, not hourly paid people. Is this correct? Like I say, I only show 160 hours of regular pay a month.

You can be paid on the semi-monthly schedule, I have paid on semi-monthly schedule for hourly employees. It is not the shedule that is wrong but the hours that are incorrect.

If you are working 40 hours a week than you should be paid for all the hours you worked until the pay period goes in. Usually there is two weeks and two days or two weeks and three days. In addition the company needs to keep track of hours per week for the week that is split because anything over 40 in a week is overtime.
