Do I have to work an extra hour as the clocks go forward this weekend, and other employment rights explained

While many people will relish in the lighter nights that the British Summer Time clock change brings with it, others will be fuming at the prospect of losing a valuable hour in bed this weekend.

The clocks will leap forward an hour at 1am tomorrow (March 26), as the transition from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) takes place. If you're awake at the time, you'll see your phone surge straight from 12.59 to 2am in the space of a minute- bypassing 1am as if it doesn't even exist.

And while many of us will be wrapped up in bed and away with the fairies, an unlucky few will have a gruelling nightshift scheduled in tonight - meaning they'll work through the clock change. But will they have the rare opportunity of working an hour less, or will they stay back an extra hour instead?
