Daylight Savings Time

Daylight Saving Time always begins the second Sunday in March and ends the first Sunday in November.

Spring Forward

States that participate in Daylight Savings will turn their clock forward at 2 AM on Sunday, March 13^th, 2022. That means that if you are looking at your watch when it says 2 AM, it is really 3 AM.

Fall Back

Fall Back is similar, for participating states, at 2 AM. on Sunday, November 6^th, 2022, the clock will roll back to be 1 AM.

How does this affect you?

• Task Start Times: Most cell phones will automatically adjust at 2 AM. but if you use a manual clock, you need to be sure to adjust it before going to bed to ensure you make it to your task in time.
• Hourly Tasks: If you are working an hourly task between the hours of 12 AM-3 AM, you may have to check with the customer how this may affect your pay. For example, (Spring Forward) if you are scheduled for an 8-hour shift, you may only be working 7 hours and get paid accordingly. Likewise for Fall Back, if you are scheduled for an 8-hour shift, you may actually be working 9 hours and get paid accordingly.

Best practice is always communicating with the customer if there is any confusion on task start times or the length of an hourly task. Please see this article to know how to communicate with the customer for a scheduled task.
