Time changes tonight. Today, those working in Europe will have to work an hour longer. But those who come to work can sleep an hour more. None of this is included in the salary.
Winter time and summer time:
Every winter, the clocks go back one hour, and in the spring they go forward one hour. Clocks change at the same time in the European Union.
Ireland has the same time as the UK and Portugal. It is one hour behind Central European Time used in most of the European Union.
When do the clocks go back?
Clocks go back one hour at 2am on the last Sunday in October: i.e. clocks go back in Europe: 29 October 2023
Clocks go forward one hour at 1 a.m. on the last Sunday in March. That means 31 March 2024 date clocks go forward in Europe:
Winter will end on Sunday 31 March 2024 at 1.00am GMT.
Will it end soon?
On 26 March 2019, the European Parliament voted in favor of permanently removing daylight saving time from 2021. Much of this decision was based on an EU-wide survey which indicated that the majority of respondents would prefer to avoid the process. .
This result may be somewhat skewed by the fact that 70% of all responses came from Germany, France and Austria. However, the vote and survey are not final and must be negotiated with EU member states before they become EU law.

The final clock change was scheduled to take place in spring 2021; However, the proposal backfired as the world grappled with Covid-19.
Do the clocks change elsewhere?
Under EU law, clocks in all member states go back one hour on the last Sunday in October and go forward on the last Sunday in March.
In the United States and Canada, DST starts at 2.00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November, while in Australia, the clocks go back on the first Sunday in April and the first Sunday in October.
Countries like China, Japan and India do not follow DST.
Why change?
As the Earth orbits the Sun and changes its exposure, the clocks change to make the most of natural light.
In winter, when it's naturally darker, the time goes back an hour, which means an extra hour curled up in bed. However, in summer, the 'great stretch of evenings' is enjoyed, as clocks going forward an hour make longer evenings.
The impact of the change varies, with countries that experience more hours of darkness from the equator benefiting more from the system.
