2008 will be a prosperous year for people who get there paychecks on Tuesday or Wednesday. The American Payroll Association says that because of the leap year, some lucky people will get one extra paycheck this year.

"In an average year, most days are repeated 52 times. In 2008, however, two days will repeat 53 times -- Tuesday and Wednesday," said Dan Maddux, executive director of the American Payroll Association. "Employees that are paid on either a Tuesday or Wednesday may get an extra paycheck in 2008."

If you are on a salary, the extra paycheck could have an adverse affect. Since their are more paydays, your take home pay could be cut down because of more paydays. That is bad news for salaried workers who live paycheck to paycheck.

Another thing to take in consideration is your tax bracket. If you are close to falling into a higher tax bracket, you should consider redudcing your taxable income. National Payroll Week is a site that will give you tips to stretch your paycheck.
