| Daylight Saving Time Ended
- November 4, 2007
The following information is designed to assist timekeepers with
entering
time for employees whose shift includes 2:00a.m. on Sunday, 11/04/2007
(the ending of daylight saving time). The information is set up
in
Question (Q) and Answer (A) format.
Q. Is there a Bulletin that addresses Daylight Saving Time?
A. Yes, Bulletin No. 96-01; however it addresses the institution
of
Daylight Saving Time which occurs in April; it does not cover the
ending
of Daylight Saving Time.
Q. Should we use the DST (Daylight Saving Time) earnings
code to report
hours worked on Sunday 11/04/2007?
A. No, this code is used in April when Daylight Saving Time is
instituted.
Q. When does the time actually change?
A. Clocks are set back one hour at 2:00a.m. Sunday, 11/04/2007.
Q. Will the hours worked result in Overtime (OTP) or Compensatory
Time
Earned (CME) and how should the time worked be reported? The example
below assumes an employee's workday includes 2:00a.m. Sunday.
A1. If an employee is on a 12:01a.m.-12:00a.m. workweek, this change
will
not affect them until the end of the week beginning 11/04/2007.
These
hours are recorded at the 1.0 rate of pay (for example REG 9 hours
if the
employee worked 9 hours during the specified shift on Sunday). The
employee could adjust his/her work schedule for the rest of the
workweek
or potentially receive overtime (OTP)/compensatory time earned (CME)
at
the end of the 11/04/2007-11/10/2007 workweek. Remember that overtime
is
not reported until an employee has met his or her FLSA threshold
(40 hours
for a regular non-exempt employee).
A2. If the employee is on a 7:01a.m.-7:00a.m workweek, this change
will
affect the employee's workweek that started 10/28/2007. If the employee
does not adjust his/her work schedule prior to 7:00a.m. Sunday,
11/04/2007, then the employee could potentially receive OTP/CME
for the
10/28/2007 workweek (prior to the beginning of the new workweek).
Remember
that overtime is not reported until an employee has met his or her
FLSA
threshold (40 hours for a regular non-exempt employee).
