If you work at night and paid by the hour do you lose pay when the clocks go back?

Answer 1

You should be paid according to how many hours, that is, how many blocks of 60 mins, you actually worked, which does not change. But I once worked for Derbyshire Social services, and they really did try to knock an hour off the pay of night care assistants! (I was union rep at the time, and got into the fray!)

Answer 2

When the clock goes back my employer pays me for an extra hour and when the clock goes forward I still get paid for a full shift even though the night is short.

Answer 3

JUst one hour pay. But you have to try and work in the spring when you get paid for the extra one.

Answer 4

If you work for the NHS you do loose an hour, their theory is it evens out over the year if you work when clocks go forward, but it never seems to work out that you work both !!

Answer 5

i have worked for companies with 24hr operation that stopped at 2 am and had everyone clock out ,change the clock ,then clock back in

Answer 6

If the clocks go back then you gain an extra hour and therefor an extra hours wages! If they go forward then you loose an hour and therefor an hours wages!

Answer 7

No. what you lose you gain when the clocks go forward

Answer 8

Technically no because assuming you continue to work up untill Summer that "extra hour" would be replaced... also it would only affect one working night.

Answer 9

I'd think that you'd get paid for the actual hours worked???

Answer 10

Yes, but you gain pay when they go ahead.
