I’ve never made that mistake and I’ve never personally witnessed anyone else slip either, but surely someone somewhere has. Especially in the years before smartphones & atomic clocks existed, when we had to manually set all our clocks.

I know that’s why they always make it happen on a Saturday night Sunday morning so for most people it won’t affect their work or school schedule the next morning

but Sunday mornings aren’t always schedule-free for everyone. Plenty of people go to work/church/obligations on Sunday mornings,

so surely there’s a non-zero chance that some clock mistakes have happened on daylight savings time Sunday mornings.

Do YOU know anyone who’s made that mistake?

    Ignore the clock, it’s the timer thats important. That’s all the time clock is. a timer.

    If you work 7 hours, you get paid for 7 hours. If you work 9 hours, you get paid 9 hours.

    So shift is from 22:00 to 06:00. but the clock is going to skip 01:00 and go straight to 02:00. Numberline it.

    NORMAL:
    
    22 - 23 - 00 - 01 - 02 - 03 - 04 - 05 - 06
    
    0H - 1H - 2H - 3H - 4H - 5H - 6H - 7H - 8H
    
    SPRINGING FORWARD (01:00 TO 02:00 IS SKIPPED):
    
    22 - 23 - 00 - 02 - 03 - 04 - 05 - 06
    
    0H - 1H - 2H - 3H - 4H - 5H - 6H - 7H 
    
    OR FALLING BACK (01:00 TO 02:00 IS REPEATED):
    
    22 - 23 - 00 - 01 - 01 - 02 - 03 - 04 - 05 - 06
    
    0H - 1H - 2H - 3H - 4H - 5H - 6H - 7H - 8H - 9H
