Ireland rule on this?

No, clocks change at 2:30 by which time the pubs are closed

Seaneh

They don't loose and hour when it goes forward and they don't gain an hour when it foes back.
It's written into exemptions, can't remember the exact wording.

Thanks and goodnight

Clocks change at 2am. Thus becoming 1am.

Actually, this brings up a memory of being in a bar a few years ago :P
As far as I can remember, you DO get the extra hour in a pub. My friends were crapping on about how good it will be that night.

Funny thing is, if you working during the spring equinox they give you 1 less hour pay. ha Well this year im gonna sleep during the winter equinox hour...lol

efb

That was in sept (22)

efb

And it's the autumnal equinox (Spring is Vernal)

some random drunk

I'm pretty sure we will get the extra hour of drinking time. I've been in a late bar before when the clocks went forward and lost the hour so I'm damn well sure I'm gonna claim it back this Sat/Sun.

Why get paid for it? Its not an extra hour of time worked

efb

It is if the shift does not allow for the 1 hour extra

Question,
Do you understand the concept of time?

Ha when you work 16 hours and only get paid for 15 thats not good. Thats what happens when you work in security.

Not long awake. My fault. Can't even remember what I was thinking
I'd go back and edit my post so I don't look like a dumb ass, but I think I'll leave it.
Of course if you stay open an hour longer you get paid an hour longer.

Time to get out of bed and have a cold show to wake up.

None of the pubs/clubs I've ever worked in has ever had it's closing time affected by going forward or back the hour. Consequently, I've never gotten paid an extra hour or lost an hours wages. I'd be very surprised if that was common.

Pubs/clubs generally still close at the old time so staff are not affected. Close of business is when their times usually change, but not sure how official that is. Is there any alcohol licence in Ireland that goes past 2am? If not, then no one will get paid for the time change, only for time worked.
But if you're in a shift work job where the time change extends your working hours by an hour, then of course you should get paid for the time, but that would only happen when clocks go back, right.
I think my head is waking up now.
Might know where I was going with the first post now

Hmmm, maybe I should delete everything and not post again until the cobwebs are gone from my brain.

Some of the places I worked in we would have served to 2:30am (maybe a little longer). Basically what we did was just carry on as if the time hadn't changed at all. Obviously we couldn't change the time on the tills anyway and the guards didn't seem to care and of course the customers didn't. I have it in my head that I read something "official" about this once, but I can't remember exactly what it was or where I saw it. As you say, there's probably few places left that do legally serve after 2am anymore outside of Dublin at least so it's pretty much a non-issue.

To be honest I'd be in favour of doing away with daylight savings - it's archaic and has vastly outlived it's usefulness at this stage.

Most clubs dont shut til 2:30am do they?

Spirit/ The Academy/ whatever they have likely renamed it by now, on Abbey St, used to open until about 3:30, as did Tripod. I think they got around it by applying for a theatre licence rather than classing themselves as a nightclub?

I really do not miss living in a country where the government tells us we have to go to bed by 2:30.

I've always found the nights were the clocks go back to be much calmer nights. People come out of the clubs more sporadically and don't tend to rush those drinks in at the end.

You should clearly just keep ordering at the bar until they ask you to leave, as opposed to worrying about what time it is due to the clocks changing ... Monday comes around quick enough as is..

hatrickpatrick

Yeah you get the extra hour in nightclubs (last year anyway) but the problem is, I'm not sure whether the nitelinks run for an extra hour or not.
