There is no change in which years are leap years. Worldsday occurs after December every year and in leap years also after June. Worldsday is not a normal day of the week, consequently the world calendar week is delayed one day after each worldsday, so enabling it to fit in with the calendar year.

Many Governments have expressed interest in this calendar. It was strongly supported for many years by Elisabeth Achelis, who wrote a number of books advocating it.

The dates September 1 to February 28 inclusive occur on the same days in the World Calendar as in the Gregorian calendar. Others dates occur up to two days later in the World calendar than in the Gregorian calendar.
