Reminder: Daylight Saving Time Ends Nov. 2

The end of daylight saving time requires clocks to be moved backward one hour at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 2. Shift workers who are on duty at that time and who normally work an eight-hour shift will actually work —and will be entitled to pay —for nine hours. They may also end up working more than 40 hours in the week, entitling them to overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

In some states, such as California, employees also become entitled to overtime pay by working more than eight hours in a single day, even if their total working hours in the week are 40 or less.

On the second Sunday in March, 2009, clocks will be moved forward one hour at 2:00 a.m., returning to daylight saving time. Shift workers on duty at that time will actually work one hour less, for a total of seven hours of work.
