Shift Allowance Times

Post by Postie_since_1989 »


Hi All

I am sure this has been raised already but I can't find the thread anywhere, and as nobody in my unit any longer gets the shift premium I am at a bit of a loss.
However, can someone please let me know what the bands are that attract shift premiums, and also if possible, what the financial benefit now is?
Many Thanks

There is no early shift allowance in delivery. There is still late and night shift allowance though.

Thanks colleagues.
As it happens there will be some duties in my unit that have been withdrawn to provide nights over the xmas working period, they will obviously get the night shift premium, although seemingly they will be the only ones as the other ad hoc duties finish at 2000.

They would be entitled to evening shift allowance with a 2000 finish, but once management realise this they will probably move the finish time to 1959.
