If your salary paid then the company get an extra day out of you for the same money on leep years. Surely it should be a national holiday on these grounds?

 

If you're paid a monthly salary, it's paid regardless of how many days there are that month. You'd need to be paid daily or hourly to benefit from the case you describe. You kind of have a point though - perhaps we should be paid less for February and more for, say, January? It's not really a salary then, though.

Another Bank Holiday would be nice though, wouldn't it?

 

But the 29th is a Sunday

 

It's a Sunday, anyway.

And I know it makes no odds; I'm being sarcastic.

 

lol at Ian.....

should be a bank holiday and coz its sunday we get monday off in lewe (or however you spell it) (not cornwall either lol)

 

Even on a "leap" year, Feb is still 1 day shorter than any other month, so if you are paid monthly, you still get paid for a day you haven't worked rather than getting paid for 2 (on average).

In reality, if you are salaried you pay is based annualy and is then divided up by 12. So you are paid X per year which is for 365.25 days. So in reality you get paid for weekends, holidays, bank holidays etc. You also get paid an extra 1/4 per year which you have to "pay back" every 4th year

 

Suppose if i did a search for this type of thread, would get a result from 2000!!!

 

I get paid every four weeks, which means I get paid 13 times a year

Doesn't affect meeeeee

 

What a sad question
Bet you are giving your employers maximum value

 

for him to have asked the question.. i bet his employers are giving him maximum value too...

works both ways...

 

I forget the exact rule.

Is it a Leap year Every Four years except if its the Century but it is if, its the 1000 so..

2000 Was a leap year but 2100 wont be ?

i THINK it's every four years UNLESS the century is exactly divisible by 100. HOWEVER, if the year is exactly divisible by 4000 then it IS a leap year. in other words, three conditions.
