Daylight Saving Time Ends on Sunday, Nov. 1, 2009

Many Americans will turn back their clocks by one hour before going to bed the night of Sat. Oct. 31, 2009.

Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends on Sunday, Nov. 1, 2009, at 2 a.m. (For more information, see the Energy Policy Act of 2005.)

When clocks 'fall back'---unless other arrangements are made---if shift workers on duty at that time normally work an eight-hour shift, they will actually work an extra hour, for a total of nine hours of work on that day. Nonexempt employees must be paid for all nine hours of work under the Fair Labor Standards Act. They are also entitled to overtime pay for all hours in excess of 40 worked during the week, including the extra hour worked during the conversion back to standard time.
