How do you like working for free?

[NuclearNed]

If you are an exempt salaried worker, you are working today for free. The company isn't paying you jack, and you are getting screwed. Enjoy!

What? I'm going home!

 

[TruePaige]

I see it as you get paid for nothing the other 3 years. =p

 

[ScottMac]

Speak for yourself. I'm salaried, exempt, and getting paid for the additional day on a pro-rated basis.

Sucks to be you, I guess.

He is implying that your salary is based upon 28 days for the month of Febuary.
Since there are 29 this year, that day doesn't factor into your pay.

 

[shocksyde]

Actually, that's not true.

You get paid $X per year. A year is defined as 365.25 days.

Most salaried workers are payed on a yearly basis (i.e. $100k per year). $100k is constant no matter how many days there are in the year. On leap years there is an extra day for which you don't get paid.

I just called HR as soon as I saw this post and the woman on the other end laughed at me. I feel like the biggest dumb ass systems analyst now. I want to go home and stick my head in the toliet for a couple days now.

She explained to me it's not true.

They figure that in to your contract. Talk to a payroll person, they will spell out the specifics for you.

I just asked my HR person and I think I confused her.

But pretty much we're not getting paid an extra 8 hours worth of pay for this year.

2 out of 3 places i've worked at, my annual pay is converted to an hourly rate based on 52 weeks a year, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day. i then get paid every week or every two weeks based on a 40 hour week. so an extra leap year day doesnt affect me.

Meh, I don't care, I'll make it up in free pens and white-out.

Don't forget the stapler!

 

[kranky]

So you get paid more in months with 31 days than you do in months with 30 or 28 days, and this month they are paying you the 28-day month salary?

If not, then I can't see how you can say you aren't getting paid for today.

 

[misle]

I'm salary, but I'm paid bi-weekly. So, I'm being paid today. It is also my last day at this job. Seemed like a good day to take a leap.

 

[cKGunslinger]

I'm salaried, except, and I get paid bi-weekly for every 80 hours of work I perform.

I don't this this is an issue.

 

[jmanny]

I once had a company tell all it's employee's that they paid us for 53 weeks in a year and were going to withhold a paycheck from everyone. I called and asked HR WTF???? They said since it was a leap year everyone got an extra check in Feb. I asked how in the world could they just add a 53rd week to the year. Of course the answer was "I don't know, that's just what I was told". Needles to say after a couple of hours of answering calls from employee's the policy was reversed.

 

[Danman]

Oh well, another thing my company can screw me over for. :laugh:

 

[IceBergSLiM]

I guess it makes up for the dozens of times i leave 20 minuntes early.
