"Unraveling Leap Day 2024: Impact on Workplaces, Payroll, and Economy"

Leap year was introduced to keep the calendar in sync with annual events due to Earth's orbit not being precisely 365 days a year. Without a leap day, major events would fall out of sync, causing seasons to align differently and potentially leading to summer in November. The concept of leap year evolved from ancient civilizations to the Julian calendar and eventually the Gregorian calendar. Leap day also comes with folklore about women proposing to men, and being born on a leap day can present paperwork challenges but also unique celebrations for leaplings.
