There's an easier solution. Just make New Year's Day it's own thing, not attached to any month. Then every 4 years, you'd have 2 New Year's Days. Or something.

    I have been extolling the virtues of this for years.

    A global day off on NYD and every four years two days off. Really nice!

    23:59 28/13/xxxx -> 00:00 NYD -> 23:59 NYD -> 00:00 01/01/xxx(x+1)
    or 23:59 28/13/xxxx -> 00:00 NYD -> 23:59 NYD -> 00:00 ENYD -> 23:59 ENYD -> 00:00 01/01/xxx(x+1)

    I approve of this system. It should make calendars nice and simple for the most part. For example, salaries would be pretty simple since the period wouldn’t fluctuate wildly.

    It’s just that not all things respect global holidays, so calculating energy production, water consumption and other things like that would still have to deal with weird inconsistencies. Regardless, this would still be far superior to our current train wreck of a calendar.
