Leap year confusion!?

Question

This has bugged me for years...On a leap year we get an extra day in Feb. Why don't we get an extra days pay?

Answer 1

If you are salaried, you're paid monthly, and you still get paid the same for February as you do for any other month. If you're paid hourly and you work that day, then you get paid.

Answer 2

I do.
Why don't you? if you are paid hourly or daily, you should.
Actually I am paid mothly, and our carig employer adds an extra 2 days to feb, but by removing one days pay from both Jan and March's pay packet, making jan, feb and mar 30 days pay each.
On a leap year feb becomes a 31 day month (on paper) for pay purposes.
Do you mean to say you are working an extra day without pay every 4 years? Suggest you have a chat with your union, or professional body.

Answer 3

If your'e on a monthly salary you get the same every month, doesn't matter if it's 28, 29, 30 or 31 days in that month. If you work on a daily or hourly rate, of course you get paid for Feb. 29th if you work then.

Answer 4

Because you get paid an extra quarter day's money every other year.

Infact, if you leave your employer before the leap year then you owe them money.

Or something...
