    Are industrial workers entitled to an extra days pay this Leap Year?

    Only if you're paid hourly.

    If you're on a salary, then for the last three years, you've been getting paid for an extra .25 days that you didn't work. So this year, you're just working that overpaid day back.

    If you're on a wage, you never worked that extra .25 days, and will now get paid for working the extra full day.

    What's an "industrial worker" anyway?

    I was just thinking this yesterday. Why is everyone going on about getting paid for an extra day on Friday? If that was the case they could dock two days pay out of your wages every February three years out of four because there's two days less then the normal 30 (or 3 from the other normal 31). It doesn't make sense. if you get a salary it's just divided by 12 and paid to you, regardless of how many days in the month.

    That answers that. Thanks to all who replied.

    Someone who earns the "average industrial wage". Smartarse. :P
