(UNDATED) - Ready for an extra hour of sleep? Who are we kidding, of course, you are.
This is your annual reminder that Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, Nov. 4, which means your clocks will turn back one hour at 2 a.m.
Of course, sleep is at the top of the list for most folks. But the possibilities for what you can do with that extra hour are endless.
We don't go back to daylight saving until Sunday, March 10, 2019, about a week before spring begins.
Fire officials say changing the clocks is a good time to check the batteries in your smoke alarm to make sure they're working.
The Indiana State Personnel Department says employees working the night shift that night will work an extra hour because the clock is turned back.
The Fair Labor Standards Act requires that overtime-eligible employees must be credited with and paid for all hours actually worked, even on nights where there is an additional hour in their usual shift. That is, an employee working a shift from 12 midnight to 8:00 a.m. on November 4, 2018, will actually perform nine hours of work since he or she will work the 1-2 a.m. hour twice. The employee must be paid for all those hours, which must count toward the total hours worked for the week.
