Daylight saving time transition scheduled for October 25

The seasonal time change will occur on the night of October 25, when clocks are set back one hour from 3:00 AM to 2:00 AM. This transition marks the end of daylight saving time and the return to winter time.

In Austria, the federal government has issued a regulation ensuring that the biannual time change remains in effect until at least 2031. This stands in contrast to a growing number of nations, including Japan, Turkey, Mexico, and Brazil, which have abolished seasonal adjustments.

For workers on night shifts, the transition can result in an extra hour of labor. While there is no specific law governing time changes, employment contracts or collective agreements typically dictate the terms. In many cases, if no specific agreement exists, employees may be required to work the additional hour, which must be compensated as regular pay or overtime depending on their salary structure.
