Shift Differential

Full-time employees are entitled to supplemental or shift bonus pay differentials under the following conditions:

  • For employees to be eligible for shift differential of 5% of their base rate, they must be regularly scheduled to work what is referred to as second (2nd) shift. Second shift is determined to be a schedule that extends a minimum of four hours past 5:00 p.m. Shift differential will apply to all hours worked within the shift.
  • For employees to be eligible for shift differential of 12% of their base rate, they must be regularly scheduled to work what is referred to as third (3rd) shift. Third shift is determined to be a schedule that extends a minimum of four hours past midnight. Shift differential will apply to all hours worked within the shift.
  • Shift differential does not apply where original or subsequent wage and salary arrangements have previously taken into consideration the schedules to be worked.
  • Employees are not eligible for shift differential when a flexible work arrangement has been agreed to primarily for their benefit and convenience.
