Dayligh saving time changed 1 hr ahead.I worked 9hrs, should I get paid for that, if so, what law states that.

Answer 1

You are correct. You did work nine hours. Here's the scoop.

Under the Uniform Time Act, daylight saving time is observed from the first Sunday in April until the last Sunday in October. This year, October 29, 2006, will mark the return to standard time, when clocks will be moved back one hour at 2 a.m.

Shift workers on duty at this time who normally work an eight-hour shift will actually work an extra hour, for a total of nine hours of work on that day. Employees must be paid for all nine hours of work under the FLSA (Federal Labor Standards Act). They are also entitled to overtime pay for all hours in excess of 40 worked during the week, including the extra hour worked during the conversion to standard time.

On August 8, 2005, President Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This Act changed the time change dates for Daylight Saving Time in the U.S. Beginning in 2007, DST will begin on the second Sunday of March and end the first Sunday of November. The Secretary of Energy will report the impact of this change to Congress. Congress retains the right to revert the Daylight Saving Time back to the 2005 time schedule once the Department of Energy study is complete.

Answer 2

It depends on the way your company is set up. One company I worked for only paid for hours worked, the other paid what ever that time clock said. So when we jumped ahead they paid for that hour even though we didn't work it, but when we fall back we didn't get paid for that.

As long as your company is consistent, they do the same when the clock falls back or goes forward then their safe, but if the don't pay when the clock go back, and then only pays for hours worked when the clock go forward then you have reason to complain.

Answer 3

If, as a result of the time change, you worked more than 40 hours in a week, you are entitled to 1 hour overtime, unless you have a contract that provides for overtime after 8/day.

Answer 4

The time went back, not forward. In any case, if it was in the spring and time moved ahead you would not get paid the extra hour. You would only get paid for the actual amount of hours worked.

Answer 5

confident, I agree we pay too plenty in taxes. yet think of approximately what does no longer gets a commission if there wasn't a nicely-known tax fee: - police, fire, and emergency amenities - education - the protection stress and protection - medical progression and consider as quickly as there is not any money to return in to start identifying to purchase those issues, human beings could be complaining that the amenities are not supplied! the challenge to recollect is that the federal government isn't an entity to itself. it relatively is an element of u.s. such as you and that i. it relatively is made from people who're our fellow voters and run with money from all of our stressful artwork. it relatively is *no longer* a challenge the place the poor peasants are working to assist the feudal lord and that they are stressful further and further. each bit which you put in, you will get some thing lower back in return.
