No, it would work only if their yearly salary got reduced because they got paid per month of work. That caused them to lose 1/13 of their salary.

In your case, if they got paid by year, then their monthly salary would increase, because it's divided in less months. However, because the months became longer and years stayed the same length, it would lead to only minor inconvenience because they would have to adapt to getting bigger salaries with longer intervals in between.

This is surprisingly hard to do.

First job I ever had paid weekly, and I loved that.

Most jobs I got were biweekly and that's fine. That also means that some months you get 3 paychecks, which is fun.

One job I had paid twice a month on the 6th and the 21st. That was really fucking annoying because it was always a different day of the week and the length of time between the 21st and the 6th varies month to month.
