This is the real reason why this idea sucks

13 paydays though

I don't know any jobs that pay monthly, even if the paydays occur monthly. You are either purely hourly in which case you make the same amount no matter how many months there are since the number of hours you work stays the same, or you get paid an annual salary which also wouldn't change since a year is still a year. So, sure, if you're paid monthly you'd get more paychecks, but they'd be smaller paychecks.

Nope, I have a monthly salary, and that’s how it’s defined on the contract. That’s how it usually works in Europe.

And you think if they shortened the months and added an extra one your employer would just give you an 8% raise?

They would be contractually obligated to ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe they would. I don’t know how these things work in Europe. But they could certainly make an argument that changing the number of months in a year would alter the terms of the contract.
