You might also find you don't get the shift allowance when on holiday, sick, etc. You need to find out exactly how your wage would be calculated before you can come up with any sensible figures.

A very valid point. I currently cover a night shift role.
However Im not contracted to nightshift.
So on holidays I dont retain nightshift allowances,vs those contracted.
My NS allowance is near £700 a month,so a decent amount to drop on holiday.

Point them at weeks pay legislation in the employment act.

Thanks for that. I'll hold it in reserve for now. A potential new role is coming up.
A potential £2k+ backpayment is not to be sniffed at!

I guess I need to shop around then as they only pay me 25%! :rotfl:

Hey guys,




Thanks for all the replies. I have just received a email back from HR saying the total per annum is £32,900 once the 40% shift allowance has been added on to the £23,500. So a £9,400 uplift allowance for working shifts. So it's obviously 40% of my basic salary. It's 2 days on, 2 days off, 2 nights on, 4 days off. I'm used to a 4 on 4 off shift pattern with my previous work so this shift pattern is even better. Like someone mentioned, 40% is a decent allowance.
