Had to work February 29th, should we have an extra day off this year?

Stamhgy

I had to work Feb 29 this year. An extra day in the year. Should I not be entitled to an extra day off throughout the year to compensate?

You don't get a day off for every day you work. If you did you'd have almost 50% of the year off.

Not unless you were docked a quarter days pay on the other three years.

But you have the 29th Feb off for the next 3 years.

Mealworms are a better bait than this but you do you.

My housemate years ago asked for a rent reduction from landlord in February because it's a short month.

Couldn't believe it, mad request.

A month is a month, a work day is a work day.

You got st Brigid's day anyway didn't you.

And actually regardless you did not work an extra day.

You worked the 29th but had the 5th off for St. Brigids day. so there you go no need to pester the union you DID have an extra day off to compensate.

Problem solved. :)

As a teacher you will work 183 calendared days in the school year.

So you will actually have one more day off between 1 Sep 2023 and 31 Aug 2024 than say the same 1 year period starting 1 Sep 2022 or 1 Sep 2024.

Yeah look OP cry more about it.

Guess what, I had to work Halloween, Easter, mothers AND Father’s Day, valentines, paddy’s day, Christmas Eve even in the last few years.

If I don’t want to anymore I’ll find a new job. Perhaps that would be a solution to your.. “problem”

People rioted for the lost pay, when the Gregorian calendar was brought in, because it jumped forward. OP is five centuries too late.

I don’t work for free either. Except you didn’t work for free because you were paid.

Funny how that works.

February 29th is a great day if you're a contractor 👍

But you only worked 20 days and got paid for 21.

Next year you’ll work 19 days and get paid for 21.

Isn’t salary great.

Lord help us, when I think back to my secondary school days and the teachers who gave up days at the weekends on a completely unpaid voluntary basis. Great men & women who made a real difference in their students lives inc my own. Compare them to the self entitled tight arsed wasters we have going now.
