The net difference of the current setup is one month deficit.

You don’t get the hour back if the months are not balanced.

Tell me where I am wrong.


How do you not get the hour back? All the days in between are still 24 hours. You just have one 23 hour day in spring, and a 25 hour day in fall. The rest aren't losing or gaining anything.

Let's take a one-month paycheck, four weeks. $10 an hour for easy math. You would make $1600 for the month - $400 each week. BUT, let's say the first day, the boss takes out a $20 deposit, but gives it back at the start of week four. Now, the first week, you only make $380. Because the first day is -$20, but all the other days are your regular pay. Weeks two and three will still be $400, and your last week will be $420, because the first day you got $20 extra. Your total is still $1600.

______________________________________

Currently, the Spring Forward cycle lasts: 7 months
and The Fall Back Cycle lasts: 5 months

You don’t think this is an issue? Should it not be 6 months and 6 months?

Remember,

On Monday August 8, 2005 President Bush signed into law a broad energy bill that “extended Daylight Saving Time by four weeks” beginning in 2007. Since 1986 the United States had observed Daylight Saving Time from the first Sunday in April through the last Sunday in October.
