You’re lucky to get paid per day. Every job and company is different.
But from the several jobs I have done in my life. It’s always been a payout at the end of the month. Regardless of how many days are in that month.
But the key thing for me is earth, moon, sun, nature and women’s natural cycles.
All primal people have some kind of full moon worship. It was their clock in the sky and also it’s an electromagnetic force they changes the tides of oceans. Our ancestors would have been highly in tune with the lunar cycles.
They 12 months of 28 depending if it’s a leap year,29, 30, 31 days long gets pretty confusing. The days and dates change every year a result.
If you had 28 day months for 13 months you would have almost a full year with 1 day to mess about.
I should have worded my reply differently, I was only disagreeing with time being stolen by only having 12 months instead of 13.
Everything around us is cyclical and honestly society can track any cycle it chooses to track time. We use the tropical year (vernal equinox to vernal equinox) currently which is 365.25 days coinciding with one full trip of the earth around the sun. The moon doesn't exactly fit into this cycle, however it does repeat in it's relative position to the sun every 19 years which led to the Greeks and romans tracking the lunisolar calendar. You can look up the Metonic Cycle for reference. This led to tracking 4 cycles to be a century (roman sæculum) which was roughly 80 years coinciding with a long human life split into 4 parts that the romans later rounded off to 100 years to fit their base 10 system (Strauss-Howe generational theory).
Regardless, I think it's not enough to only track the moon but realize the relationship between both sun and moon and how they work together.
Last note on tides, the moons gravitational pull causes the earth to wobble on it's axis (nutation). This motion is what causes the tidal flow that repeats in a... you guessed it... 19 year cycle.
Good luck on your crusade!
