Clocks Go Forward - Extra Hour = Paid Extra On Night Shift?
9 Answers
just curious
a friend works nightshifts and has noted on facebook that his usual 12 hours shift is now a 13 hr shift
this must happen a lot to a lot of people - how do companies deal with this?
i mean do they pay for an extra hours work?
i would think they should, but do they legally have to?
or send people home an hour early?
thanks

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.When I worked on the railways, we were nominally 'salaried' but with an equivalent hourly rate calculated so that we could still be paid extra if we worked additional hours.
However, when the clocks went back or forward, it was the 'salaried' bit that took precedence and we were paid exactly the same for the longer (or shorter) shift than for a normal one.
As long as the average hourly rate of pay doesn't fall below the National Minimum Wage, there is never any legal obligation upon an employer to pay extra money for extra hours.
