Depends on the laws of the country you’re in and the quality of the company you work for. But usually you work more for free, or you work the normal amount anyway.
2am -> 1am. Here in Seattle our bars close at 2am, I was told they aren’t supposed to stay open the extra hour, but the local bar near me did the only time I was there for the change.
At my work the people on shift either leave an hour early (when clocks go forward shift ends at 7am and leave at 7am for example) or they leave early (shift ends at 7am but you leave at 6am after being there a full 12 hours) depending on which way the time goes.
I worked security at an amusement park and happened to work a late shift when we switched to DST. Instead of getting off at 3 a.m., we all got off at 4 a.m. We were all pretty pissed because we didn’t get OT.
So, I’ve worked nights and I’m not sure. I know that when I worked nights I didn’t know that the clocks changed. I just clocked in when it was my normal time and clocked out when it was my normal time. So, my guess is extra hour and less one hour. But honestly it probably varies.
