Your paycheck just took a hit, thanks to a "blue moon" compliance rule your boss never told you about.
That’s right, millions of workers are losing money this month because a rare scheduling loophole—triggered by the actual blue moon calendar event—has employers slashing overtime pay. Consumer advocates say the fine print in your timecard is costing you hundreds, while companies pocket the savings from the once-every-2.5-year date quirk. Check your next payslip: if you worked extra hours during this blue moon window, you might be getting shorted on your daily commute budget and grocery run.
