You must pay them according to how many hours they actually work, not by some governmentally imposed calculation of the sun dial. x:-) When the wage and hour laws were written, there was no consideration given to such folly as daylight savings time or how an employer might track time. The law simply required that we pay them for hours worked. When we have people working on the weekend at the time changes, depending on whether it's spring or fall, we pay them accordingly - either 7 hours or 8 straight and one at 1 1/2 time.

And remember, the same employee who loses an hour in April may not be employed in September to re-coup this lost hour. As Don's post states, we too always pay by actual hgours worked.
