Hourly paid workers, when clocks go back

Do hourly paid employees working this evening get an extra hour of pay ?

Also, for those working hourly when the clocks go forward are they paid an hour less ?

Of course if they worked on both Saturdays when the changes take place it would balance out, but Sodds law, or Murphy would mean this wouldn't be the case.

    The difference is normally absorbed within the shift - either way.
    Don’t be a can’t, be a can.

    So, presumably if he was doing this in the Spring on the night the clocks go forward he would only get 7 hours pay?

    When I ever worked hourly paid on a Sat night at clock change time, I either got or lost the hour depending on which way it went but when I was salaried, there was no change either way.
