The way I see it, we work one day less 3 years out of 4. ;-)
The salary is the same every month, no matter if the month has 28, 29, 30, or 31 days. I really can't be bothered to care!

Because people with salaried positions usually like their jobs. People working "hourly" jobs were generally (but not always) just too lazy in school to figure out what they loved to do, and follow through by securing a career doing it. Additionally, salaried positions typically pay enough that people are not working "paycheck to paycheck" (unless they are just really bad at math), so they don't sweat the small stuff. (one day every four years is what, one day in a thousand working days, or 0.1%. If 0.1% of your pay makes any difference to you, you have gone very wrong somewhere!)

The year is actually 365 and 1/4 days but we save that quarter day up till be have a full day and put in on in the leap year. Therefore you are getting paid pro rata

Coz it's just the way things are. Also - they get paid for Bank Holidays - where people on a daily rate generally don't get paid.

I hardly ever put in 40 hours a week. I'd look like a real nutjob complaining about one extra day every 4 years.

Because life's too short to worry about 12 days pay over an entire lifetime.

Hi. Because they still only have to work 5 days in that week.

If you were concerned about it, you'd have to negotiate an extra 0.07% salary to make up for the lost pay.

they may care, but nothing they can do about it. being salaried has some positives and some negatives. this is one of the negatives.
