An employee in a classification shown in Appendix A to Contract 98 as eligible for shift differential is paid this differential when required to work on an assigned swing shift or owl shift. For purposes of computing shift pay, a swing shift consists of the hours from 4 p.m. to 12 midnight and an owl shift from 12 midnight to 8 a.m. To qualify for payment of shift differential, a minimum of four hours must be scheduled during the above periods. When four hours are worked on each of two shifts, pay will be based on the shift assignment of the division or department.
Day shift is indicated by omitting any code.
Overtime Overtime pay for employees who receive shift differential is based on the shift rate to which they are entitled for the work period to which the overtime is added. Temporary Assignments Employees who usually work a second or third shift continue to receive the shift differential when assigned temporarily by their supervisor to a day shift for four days or less. A change in shift assignment initiated by the employee is not covered by this provision. Paid Leave Shift differential is included for all types of paid leave based on the shift an employee would have worked. Terminal Vacation Pay Terminal vacation is paid at the appropriate shift differential rate when an employee has been permanently assigned to nightshift work or when a temporary nightshift assignment has extended over 90 days.
