If you are at work in the middle of the night when the clocks change, do you work an extra hour in the spring and one less in the fall?

    If you are salaried, it isn’t. But we know that salaried always mean you must work your full week and sometimes extra hours without more pay. But it never means you can work less hours with the same pay.

      This is not true where I live (New Zealand). Any hours over the weekly maximum specified in the contract (no more than 40 per week) are considered paid overtime. Additionally, the employer can’t unilaterally reduce the number of hours from what’s written in the contract.
