29th FEB worked for free??

At work today, I was informed my colleague that as we are on an annual salary we would be working for free on the 29th because we neither get extra pay for the month of February or get an extra day off in the year. Is this the case. Can anything be done about it to either get an extra day off or extra money; or will I have just to accept it?

You could look at it another way - say you start work in a leap year, would you be prepared to take a pay cut for the other 3?......didn't think so.....0

Your annual salary covers 365.25 days per year. In other years you benefit as you receive that pay spread over just 365 days. In a leap year it is catch up time.0

Coincidentally there's an extra bank holiday this year, which sort of compensates.0

Perfect answer thanks, I know someone would be able to clarify this.0 -
Go ahead, suck it up and accept it. Just like the millions who would be grateful for paid employment have accepted that it will be slim pickings again this year.hlg389martin wrote: »or will I have just to accept it?Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Oh no, what will happen when there's an 8 year gap without the question between 2096 and 2104? :rotfl:0 -
For those of us paid daily, we get that extra day pay.... but then we dont get paid for the bank holiday
