You're paid biweekly. My calculations can confirm this based on the withholding calculations.
| Item | Biweekly^1 | Semimonthly^1 | On paystub |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gross Pay per check | $3,076.93 | $3,076.93 | $3,076.93 |
| Gross Pay per year | $80,000 | $73,846.32 | |
| Federal Withholding | $426.78 | $412.74 | $426.97 |
| Social Security | $0.00 | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| Medicare | $0.00 | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| State Withholding | $131.06 | $129.01 | $131.11 |
| FSA | $11.04 | $11.04 | $11.04 |
| Traditional 401k | $307.70 | $307.70 | $307.70 |
| Medical insurance premium | $52.00 | $52.00 | $52.00 |
^1 Assuming
- Federal: Disable "standard deduction"
- Georgia personal allowance = 1
Since you are "nonresident alien", you do not have the $12,950 standard deduction (See Form 1040NR line 12). Instead, you must itemize. Therefore, payroll computer assumes your deduction is $0 instead of $12,950.

Thanks so much. I guess it checks out that I’m paid correctly.
