......... should or will we get paid for the extra day? or will our company gain an extra days work from us all??????
Easy answer that one... NO

Seriously though, it would depend how you get remunerated...

If you get paid a monthly salary, you will not get paid just because there are more days in February this year...in fact, if that were the case, your employer could argue that because February has less days than all the other months anyway, you should get paid less in February than any other month...

However, if you do get paid by the hour (like I used to when I was contracting) then yes, you should definitely get paid for the extra time.

To err is human. To ARRR is pirate.
