If you are at work in the middle of the night when the clocks change, do you work an extra hour in the spring and one less in the fall?
I used to work at a transplant coordinator, and you had to account for every minute of time an organ was on ice. There were a lot of extra notes for those nights, because while the software for charts was automatic, the doctors would look at in and do the math wrong.
I also worked through a leap second New Years Eve, but we didn’t really need to do anything with that.
Depends on the laws of the country you’re in and the quality of the company you work for. But usually you work more for free, or you work the normal amount anyway.
Typically, your shift is just an hour longer/shorter. Though, I’ve worked for companies that tried to scam me, and pay me for 8 hours on the night with 9 hours, under the guise that they would pay me 8 hours on the night with 7. Nope. I don’t trust your ass, and I don’t know that I’ll still be working here in 6 months. I’ll take my $8.75 for tonight, tyvm.
I worked the extra hour which is overtime.
At my work the people on shift either leave an hour early (when clocks go forward shift ends at 7am and leave at 7am for example) or they leave early (shift ends at 7am but you leave at 6am after being there a full 12 hours) depending on which way the time goes.
When I was working shifts, we either got one hour less on the shift, or we got on hour extra break. Still sucked
suffer.
Whatever your boss tells you I guess
Yes, that’s how we do it. Employees on 8 hour restrictions go after 8 hours though
What’s an example of an 8 hour restricted role / rule? Is it a medical reason thing or nature of the job or something? Never heard of it before
Employees who have documented injuries can get an 8 hour restriction. We have a ridiculous amount of overtime where I work.
I think semi truck drivers and locomotive drivers are restricted by hours.
I worked security at an amusement park and happened to work a late shift when we switched to DST. Instead of getting off at 3 a.m., we all got off at 4 a.m. We were all pretty pissed because we didn’t get OT.
I had to work overnight during a clock change.
All I had to do was log 10 hours, so it didn’t really matter.
Yes.
I was in operations working the DuPont schedule for over a decade. Concerning DST, you work an extra hour, with pay, or work a shift that is one hour less, depending on which direction the clock is moving
When we worked the 11 hour shift (normally 12), as clocks spring forward, you would be compensated a full paycheck if you had no overtime hours, as the company was forced to pay you a full 2 weeks of wage for the pay period. If you had any overtime hours in that check, your pay would reflect 1 hour less to cover the shortage due to the time change.
Some companies pay the full 12 hr shift when the clocks spring forward, but mine didn’t.
Well firstly, any new staff inevitably ask the ‘do we work an hour more/less’ depending on the circumstance.
Aside from that, not much else changes. One Sunday morning I’d finish at 6 and then six months later I’d have a Sunday where I finished at 8.
Fortunately I never worked Sunday nights, so I never felt like I was losing much after work time.
As a doctor, we would work and hour more or less depending on the shift changed. Im paid a supplement to work out of hours rather than by the hour, so we’d just suck it up of working an extra hour and be happy if we worked less.
If you’re paid hourly then you’d be paid for the time you worked.
But shift starts and finishes were unchanged, it was just the length that got altered.
Our 12hr shift folks did 13 hours last night. Anything over 12 in one shift is double time pay, so there’s that.
