The criteria for the night shift allowance in the Way Forward agreement is "three hours worked across 2300-0500" - don't think that it has changed in any subsequent agreement. So starting at 0200 would qualify for the night shift allowance and starting at 0201 would not (that would qualify for the dawn shift allowance instead)

Is there a link to a document showing this? I've a feeling its gonna crop up at my office. They starting us at midnight, I've a feeling they think only those who start before midnight qualify.

The Way Forward can be downloaded at http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... 36&t=11941 I'm not aware of any subsequent changes to the eligibility times for the night shift allowance but could be wrong on that - get your rep to confirm
