Daylight saving time begins at 2 a.m. March 14 when clocks are set ahead by one hour across most of the country. A few areas, such as Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa do not observe the time change. This change may prompt employees, particularly overnight shift workers, to raise questions about wage payment rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Although many overnight shift employees will lose one hour of work time, the FLSA does not require employers to pay the lost hour to workers who are entitled to overtime wages.
