Night shift, extra pay per shift??

jayoo · 2008-09-04 22:03:36

hiya guys just wondering is there any law which states that you have to get a certain amount more per night shift. at the moment i earn 9.27 per hour per day shift, and 10.03 per hour per night shift. its a pretty **** increase and im just wondering is there a set rate at which a night shift should increase

The working time directive 1997 refers to a shift premium, but does not stipulate that it must be paid.

If you sign a contract saying you'll work nights for flat rate, then that's what the company can pay you.
