As is the state pension but that is probably not very relevant to
commuters!

The term for it is "lunar monthly". Plenty of businesses do it, but
it is a nuisance as most large expenses (mortgage payment etc) work
on a calendar monthly schedule.

2016 is of course a leap year, I recall my (late) mother who was paid
on a monthly basis also being paid for an extra day in February each
leap year in one company she worked for.

Was she paid less in February than in other months?

Nope the same each month i.e. yearly salary divided by 12 but as in a
leap year there are 366 days rather than 365 she got an extra days
pay then

So I was diddled for every leap year after 1976!

Yep. If you're paid daily or weekly the extra day in a leap year makes
no difference but if monthly you work one day free in a leap year
