If salaries are paid every two weeks (like mine) then you are not "working for free". If salaries are paid bi-monthly then you can make the case...but it's still not really working for free as you say. I'm not putting in an "extra day" of work, I'm merely working a regular Wednesday, that happens to fall on a leap year.

True - if paid monthly, you're essentially working for free today.

Unless your employer has already factored this into your fortnightly pay packet which may be slightly less than it was last year, to ensure your final annual salary remains the same. Assuming you have not had any other pay increases since last year, you may want to compare your pay slip from late last year with one from this year.
