Who gets paid to work on February 29?Thursday 23 February 2012 Many people are not aware they are working one day for no pay this year – because 2012 is a leap year, according to research by staffing agency Uitzendspecialist. Almost 50% of workers do not realise February 29 is a ‘free day’ for employers. However, the agency says 17% of employers are planning to pay staff extra. And, it points out, freelancers and people working through staffing agencies will also be paid because they are paid an hourly or daily rate. © DutchNews.nl
Is this really all Dutch workers have to worry about? 1 day extra work, probably compensates for Monday and Friday sick days. By Richard | February 23, 2012 10:30 AM Shouldn't we be claiming overtime for working and extra day? By @CluthaDubh | February 23, 2012 1:45 PM 'Many people are not aware they are working one day for no pay this year' ... because they aren't. This is a proverbial mountain out of a mole hill, and about as simple as math gets. You get that paycheck every two weeks--who cares what the dates are? An annual salary? It's based on a year, period. That's actually 365.25 days; every four years, we catch up on 29 Feb. Anyone planning to hand back a day's pay for not working that day the next three years? AS for predicting you'll get sick that day? ... chances are those who think that way 'get sick' a lot ... then wonder why they don't seem to be getting anywhere. By h lei | March 4, 2012 10:32 PM
