NIGHT SHIFTS AND EVENING SHIFTS Sample Clauses
The "Night Shifts and Evening Shifts" clause defines the terms and conditions under which employees may be required to work during late hours, typically outside of standard daytime working periods. This clause usually specifies the exact hours that constitute evening and night shifts, outlines any additional compensation or allowances provided for such work, and may address scheduling practices or rest period requirements. Its core practical function is to ensure clarity and fairness regarding expectations and entitlements for employees working non-standard hours, thereby helping to manage workforce needs while protecting employee rights.
NIGHT SHIFTS AND EVENING SHIFTS. The Employer may implement a night shift or evening shift. Employees required to work the night shift shall be paid a shift premium of $0.75 per hour. (Effective April 2007, premium to be increased to $1.00 per hour). It is agreed that in the calculating of overtime pay the shift premium shall not be used in such calculation. It is further agreed that night shift is defined as commencing at 10:00 p.m. and ending at 6:00 a.m. Only those hours of work actually occurring between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. qualify for the premium rate. Night shift shall be considered as a regular shift, but will be assigned on a voluntary basis unless insufficient numbers of employees volunteer and then it will be assigned on a “reverse seniority” basis.
