Absolutely. Don't create silly cliffs where 1 minute is the difference between pay and no pay. Pay me regardless so I can hurry up and get back home. That's a win for me and for our customers.
They made a similar mistake with the midnight crap. Now everything that was scheduled for 00:xx is scheduled for 2359. 5 minutes late? An hour late? No soup for you.
