Shift allowance

Hi, is a 4 on 4 off shift, 11 and a quarter hours on days deserving of shift allowance?

That would be a contractual issue.

There is no legal obligation to pay a shift premium.

Unlikely if that's the employer's standard working practice.

Many would see fewer, longer shifts along with a 4 day break each time to actually be a better work/life balance.  I wouldn't automatically expect a shift allowance.

I’ve been on this shift for 15 years and always got shift allowance but suddenly it’s not a shift, even though I work different days every week...
