25 NCAC 01C .0507         HOURS OF WORK DUE TO TIME CHANGE

(a)  When the time is changed from Eastern Standard Time to Daylight Savings Time, employees working during this interval only work seven hours rather than eight hours.  The employees must be held accountable for the hour that no work is performed.  The time may be charged to: vacation leave, or the employee may be allowed to make up the time within a reasonable length of time if it can be worked out satisfactorily with the immediate supervisor.

(b)  When the time changes from Daylight Savings Time to Eastern Standard Time, employees on duty at this change actually work a nine-hour shift rather than the usual eight-hour shift.  The state, under the overtime pay policy, must compensate for this additional hour.  In cases where the employees work in excess of 40 hours for the week, this must be compensated for at one and one-half times the regular rate during the pay period.
