Ultimately it comes down to how you are paid; this will determine if you are entitled to any additional pay for the Leap Year.
If you are paid on an hourly basis then you would be entitled to be paid for the hours you have worked, and as such, would receive payment for any hours worked on the additional Leap Year day.
However, if you receive an annual salary, you would not be entitled to be paid for an extra day as this will have been factored into your salary. In these cases, staff are usually paid 1/12th of their annual salary each month regardless of the number of days in that month.
An employee can of course ask not to work on Feb 29th however, this request would be treated like most other types of leave; that is, it is at the discretion of the employer to allow a worker the day off.
