Yes you should get the extra shift allowance, my mate is doing nights in our office and he is getting his!! However if i was you i would check your pay slip to make sure you have been paid it!!

I don't think it's that much

I think you have to start before midnight to get that rate.

Got this from the Way Forward Agreement
SHIFT ALLOWANCES

There will be assigned shift allowances, paid all-year-round including during holidays and short-term sickness (periods up to two months), for jobholders with attendances as follows:

Dawn shift (starts between 0201-1400) = £20.40 per week fully pensionable
Early shift (starts between 0401-0500) = £10.71 per week fully pensionable
Early shift (starts between 0501-0530) = £5.36 per week fully pensionable
Evening shift (finishes between 2000-2139) = £15.30 per week fully pensionable
Late shift (finishes between 2140-0159) = £31.62 per week fully pensionable
Night shift (three hours worked across 2300-0500) = £61.20 per week (of which £31.62 is pensionable and the remainder non-pensionable, balancing against the higher basic pay)

Thanks, I did some night shift last year but only got an extra £3/£4 per shift.
