Leap Year!

I was discussing this with my wife last week:

If you're a salaried worker, does that mean that you work one day for free during leap year?

Does it change if you're paid weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly or monthly?

More importantly, if you are Brianna, do you have a birthday tomorrow?

annually salaried employees should get 1/5 of 1/52 of their annual extra. sez me.

I'm straight commission, so I get phucked. It doesn't hurt.

Doesn't that mean that you get an extra earning opportunity?

I bet you make more this month than you did last February.

More to the point, night shift workers in the UK, who are paid hourly, do not get paid the extra hour they do when the clocks go back in the autumn (and you cannot guarantee you will be on shift when there clocks go forwards in the spring and there is one more hour in the pay packet than you worked ...).
