Would have had gotten

I was just on the phone and without thinking too much about it I said the following, excluding what's in square brackets:

"If I had extended my contract for another month [last year], I would have had gotten paid an extra month [at the end of this year]."

Is that OK?

Hm, yes, it's easily overlooked – (by me perhaps).

My reference book gives the following:

3 basic conditionals
  • if + present will + infinitive
  • if + past would + infinitive
  • if + past perfect would have + past participle
The latter one corresponding to your sentence.
