Final answer:

Leave accrual per month typically depends on employment terms and can be about 1-2 days per month. In a hypothetical lunar-based calendar, each month could be around 29-30 days, and an extra leap month would be occasionally needed to align with the solar year.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question on how many days leave accrues per calendar month is typically answered by the specifics of an employee's benefits package or the legal framework governing employment in the region. Typically, one may see an accrual of one or two days of leave per month, although it can vary.

If we were to consider a hypothetical calendar system based entirely on the lunar cycle, we would note that the Moon's phase cycle, from full moon to full moon, is about 29.53 days. For a lunar-based calendar where the month is equivalent to a full lunar cycle, we could say that each month is roughly 29 to 30 days long. To account for the disparity between the lunar cycle and the solar year (which is approximately 365.25 days), we might need to implement a leap month analogously to how we use a leap day in the Gregorian calendar. This could involve adding an extra month every few years to reconcile the difference between the lunar cycles and the solar year, in a manner similar to the Chinese lunisolar calendar which adds an extra month to some years.
