Since the lunar month is slightly more than 28 days long (about 28.4 if I 
remember correctly), the bi-weekly pay cycles will drift away from the
full and new moons, such that after a year or so, the pay periods will
be equidistant between them.
I bet that in Israel they have problems arround the new moon. The Jewish
calendar is lunar, with the start of each month occuring on the new moon.
