Where did this Daylight Saving Time come from?
Traditionally, Americans adjusted their hours to fit changes in daylight. Farmers, as well as railroads, http://www.answers.com/topic/steamship lines, shops, and factories changed their hours of operation seasonally. These seasonal schedules declined after American railroads implemented standard time zones in 1883. In 1907, an English builder and http://www.answers.com/topic/golfer named William Willett proposed the basic outline of what became daylight saving time. His plan found ready ears in the United States. American commercial interests began pushing for "more daylight," especially the burgeoning leisure time industry. An hour of light after work meant bigger crowds at ball games, amusement parks, and department stores. Commercial interests seized on the fact that in 1916, some European nations adopted "fast time" to promote efficiency and save fuel. The U.S. Senate began investigating daylight saving time that year, hearing testimony from the "National Daylight Saving Convention," a lobbying group of businessmen, chambers of commerce, and trade organizations. In 1917, these groups tied daylight saving to patriotism, efficiency, and economy, urging, "mobilize an extra hour of daylight and help win the war." Although no savings of fuel was ever demonstrated, in March 1918 Congress passed a bill to "save daylight and provide a standard time." Besides establishing a period of summer daylight saving, the bill made standard time zones into national law. Daylight saving met with considerable skepticism, primarily from those on the borders of existing time zones, and workers who rose extremely early. On the western edge of the eastern zone, adopting daylight saving put clocks nearly two hours ahead of the daylight. Farmers in those regions resisted daylight saving because it forced them to start too early in the morning. Labor organizations, including the American Federation of Labor, also resented rising in deeper darkness so middle-class businessmen might play golf after work. Additional objections called the measure http://www.answers.com/topic/absurd, like robbing Peter to pay Paul, while a minority detested changes to "God's time." Some businesses, particularly the movie industry, lost sales under daylight saving. Repealed in 1919, daylight saving remained in use by local option until the Uniform Time Act of 1966 made daylight saving national law. During World War II, year-round daylight saving prevailed, and in 1974 President Richard Nixon, reacting to the first energy crisis, set the clocks ahead for fifteen months. In 1986, lobbied by the makers of sporting goods, http://www.answers.com/topic/charcoal grills, and insect repellants, Congress established calendar dates in early April and late October for daylight saving.

Is it legal to not pay the extra hour for daylight saving time?
In my opinion no because when you work by the hour you get paid for the hours you work. Some companies actually pay the hour that isn't worked. However, that's just an incentive, as most companies shouldn't have to pay for an hour you never worked. * I am a nurse and midwife and have worked both ends of the year and as far as I am aware you are paid the nominal length of the shift whether it is an hour longer or an hour shorter. Swings and roundabouts I am afraid.
