I average out the spring and fall changes and just set my clocks 39 minutes ahead year-round.

    Not that I’ll ever be in a position to have employees, but if somehow I ever find myself in that situation, the start of the work day will be set at 2 hours after sunrise.

        Thank you dropping by HR today, Mr. Penguin!

        As we said in the email, you can see here in the fine print that no leaving hours were specified, and we MOST CERTAINLY never implied that your working hours would be restricted by daylight.

        As such, we expect you to only leave your cubicle when dawn breaks, which, very generously, should be more than sufficient to cover your day to day needs before resuming work.

        Where do you live? I live pretty far up and I get 6 hours of daylight in December.

      It depends on the industry but if the work is not time sensitive, I’d tell employees to start whenever, and finish 8 hours (or the appropriate shift length for the type of work) after that. I’d plot the average start and end times in a chart and I’d schedule any required team meetings to catch the largest overlap of employees (within reason, aiming to keep that overlap between 8am-6pm, unless we’re all somehow on night shift)

      I have a circadian rhythm disorder and shift start and end times not lining up with my natural sleep pattern is honestly the worst part of working. There’s got to be a better way to do it. Humans aren’t designed to start and stop work based on a clock, but some of us also don’t work with the sun.
