  • Yes this has been covered before! and no your not loosing out! Feb is a short month anyway, if you are on salary you get paid the same amount every month. so your already doing good in feb as you are getting the same pay whether its 28 days, 29 days, 30 days or 31 days!

    And for someone who hasn't had a payrise for more than a year, delboy1164 is strangely concerned just about one day's pay.

    If you only work Monday to Friday, you're actually working fewer days this year, not more.

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/2008/mar/01/7
    "Because of the way weekends fall, the number of working days each year varies," says a spokesman for the employers' group the CBI. "This year, even with the leap year there are 254 working days as against 255 last year."

    Admittedly this may not be great news for people who are paid by the day or hour, but it is heartening for those of us who earn a regular salary. And the story gets better next year, when according to the CBI, we will spend just 253 days in the workplace, working for the Man.

    So unless you are planning to hand back some of your hard-earned salary for your extra days off, it is probably worth keeping quiet about yesterday.
