An employee must be paid for all hours actually worked. It makes no difference whether daylight savings time or not.
In the spring, on an eight hour shift an employee works seven (7) hours.
In the fall, on an eight hour shift an employee works nine (9) hours.
Federal law, an employee must be paid for all hours worked. |

You get paid for the hours you work. Whether the clock changes does not impact the number of hours you actually performed the functions of the job.
Nobody is asking the workers to work an hour and not be paid for it.
If you have a longer shift because of the time change (you work 8 hours instead of 7) then you DO get paid for that hour.
However, salary workers don't get additional compensation -- as they are not paid by the hour. |

Of course you should be paid the hourly rate. You worked it. |

you're right an hour is an hour as long as you worked it, any questions should be brought to your states labor board |

It's an extra hour, if you are hourly employees you are to be compensated for it.
Was management paying you guys for the hour you didn't work when the clocks were pushed forward an hour? I'll bet that they docked you guys an hour and only paid for 7 hours. They can't then expect not to pay you for the full time when you're working 9 hours.
If they were, say, nice to you guys and they had paid you for 8 hours when the clock was pushed forward, I might say it's ok to let it slide. But even if they did pay you the extra hour on the other day - and I'll bet high odds they didn't - it's a different week so since you're working 9 hours you're entitled to be paid for 9 hours. |

It is a union shop here, they get paid the extra hour. And I believe it is time and a half because it is over 8 hours.
Does your management eat the hour when they have to turn the clocks ahead in the spring? |

my old work paid us the extra hour. because your employer is paying you "for actual hours worked"
what that means is a running clock-actual elapsed time, not the time it is. ask them for the labor boards number so you can clarify this.....you might piss them off so be aware. |

Thats easy. Did they pay you for an extra when you sprung time ahead? If so, then their claim makes sense. If not tell them you will report them to US Dept of Labor if they don't stop being asses.
This would make for an embarassing newspaper article. |

Interesting. I never thought of that. Third shifters should get out a hour earlier and be payed for a full day, or get paid an extra hour if they work the whole time.
That seems fair to me. |

You will get paid for the number of hours you work regardless. If you are to go to work from 11pm-7am and the clocks go back at say Midnight... Then you will have essentially worked from 11pm-Midnight twice. Thus making your shift not an 11pm-7am shift but one shift of 11pm-Midnight and then another shift from 11pm-7am. So you will have to be paid for that extra hour. Since time will have gone back. This is assuming the company you work for follows these rules. The best thing to do would be to ask payroll. It would be wrong of them not to pay you for that extra hour of work.
Good Luck :)
P.S. If they refuse to pay you for that hour then explain to them that you wont be showing up until Midnight and will be working the midnight to 7am shift ( taking one hour off to make up for the hour you will gain ). |

Only if you work an extra hour. |

I never have been compensated. But then again, in the spring, I leave an hour earlier and get paid for that other hour. |

they officially go back at 2 in the morning so it doesnt affect many peoples lives over here (unless they forget to change them!) as no where is really open at that time and not many people are at work but really you should get payed the amount of hours you work not according to time
so if you work from 10-4 but the clocks went back, finish at 3 instead and work 6 hours like you normally would |

I'm sorry to say but no. Unless it is in a contract. I work the night shift before and know people who do also and we did not get it. |

I don't think so BUT in the spring when the time goes ahead they ( the company) eat the hour. At least that's how it works for my ex and my mother who both work nights. |
