My mom was a night-shift hospital nurse for years. When we “fell back” an hour in the fall, she never received pay for the extra hour worked. When they “sprung forward” in the spring, they got docked for an hour the clock said they didn’t work.

It was simply unjust, and I think illegal.

My wife recently retired from over 25 years of police/fire/EMS dispatch. Her organization properly handled the compensation issue. The computer automated dispatch system was less graceful. The officers in the field often became confused around the 2 AM point of the time change. The error was not reporting standard vs saving time attributes on the "incidents". The kerfluffle is only an issue for a couple hours immediately adjacent to the time switch. Sometimes there is NO activity and the event passes with no impact.
