Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk on the time change. "Every hour has its price"

On October 25, clocks were set back an hour, affecting night shift workers who worked an extra hour. This additional hour is considered overtime and should be compensated accordingly. Employees are entitled to regular pay for the extra hour, and if it qualifies as night overtime, they receive a 100% wage increase. The minimum night work allowance is also applicable. If the employer adjusts the schedule to account for the time change, no overtime is incurred. Employees can request time off instead of pay for overtime, with different compensation rules depending on who initiates the request. Workers should verify their work schedules and time records for accurate payment.
