Working shifts when clocks go forward/backwards

sulphate

When I worked in a lab that required night shifts, no one got paid extra/had their pay adjusted/got to leave early either night of the year. Absurd.

The nurse I know gets an extra hour when when they work the extra hour but no reduction if on when the clocks go forward.

Ok, for alot of salaried people it would be mute as extra hours unpaid are expected...but fair point.

I do stand correct, google seems to show it is a lot more common for people not to be paid for it on the premise they make it up in March, seems odd to me.

When I worked shifts I was paid for the number of hours worked e.g. 1 hr extra in Oct and 1 hr less in spring.

I work shifts too. Don't get paid for it.

Whoever is on a 12 hour shift that day (like today) we split the shift with the guy on night shift and do 30 mnutes extra each.

It's no big deal, apart from some MSE'rs seem to think it is.

Never been paid. Mainly because the shift is 8PM to 8AM NOT 12 hours.

or 11 hours when the clocks spring forward meaning that you DO get paid double in the spring.

True but I was trying to get over the point that clocks changing, regardless of direction, makes absolutely no difference because the shift is based on the time and not the length and I am paid per shift.

It's swings and roundabouts
