Daylight Saving Reminder

In New Zealand, we turn our clocks forward one hour at 2.00am on the last Sunday in September which this year is the 25th September 2011.

If, due to turning the clocks forward, an employee works fewer hours than they would normally work, they must be paid for the hour lost.

We turn clocks back one hour at 3.00am on the first Sunday in April. which will be the 1st April 2012

If, due to turning the clocks backwards, an employee works more hours than they would normally work, they must be paid for the extra hour at the rate normally paid for excess hours worked.
