Daylight Savings is Goofy

[Bella_Vixen]

All the times I've worked drag shift over the daylight savings changes, somebody's manually changed the payroll computer so I get the extra hour (or lose the missing hour) of pay.

Why would they take the hour away? You worked that extra hour, you should get paid that extra hour.

Our night shifters get paid for the extra hour. To add to that, they even get paid for the extra hour they are shorted in the Spring.

Nice. I get paid the extra hour, but loose the hour at the other end. It works out in the long run, unless I finagle that day off...

Um, if you're in the US and you're an hourly employee they have to pay you for that hour. If not, take it up with the local labor board. It may mean that payroll has to be finagled a bit because they have crap software that doesn't take the time change into account, but still. Avoiding paying you is not a valid option.

If you're salaried...sucks to be you.

This is what I keep thinking. I do believe they HAVE to pay you the hours you work, regardless of the time changes. I would be talking to someone at the state level at the very least.

He's talking about the "other end." When the clocks jump forward, he's only got a 7 hour shift, instead of 8, or 9 when the clocks go back.

That's it. I don't mind being paid for hours I didn't work, but if whoever's paying insists on only paying for the work done that's OK too.

When it happens while you're at work, on the clock, and you realize, you're pulling a 13 hour shift, and are only going to get paid 12 hours for it....

Somebody needs to update their payroll system. I'm pretty sure the law states that they have to pay you for time actually worked, provided that you aren't on salary.
