Energy Savings Act of 2005

The Energy Savings Act of 2005 which was signed into law last August extends Daylight Savings Time by four weeks.  If you automated time system is not update you may find your self with a problem. This year Daylight Saving Time starts on March 11 and ends on November 04.

The change happens at 2AM so normally third shift workers are affected.  In the spring you can overpay  workers with ease.  They were there from 11:00PM to 7:00 AM but in reality only worked seven hours.  The clock “Spring(ed) Forward”.  In the fall you can under pay because the third shift of eight hours was really nine hours long because the clock “Fall Back”.

It only happens twice a year but it needs to be done right.
