rate adjustment

longie

Due to a need in the workplace, one individual on modified duty had his hours changed from furst shift to third shift. Does this change in hours wartrant a change in rate?

Only if you have second and third shift differentials. Do you pay your other workers a premium for those shifts? Most companies do.

LONGIE: It could, what does your employee handbook say about premium pay! In our company there could be an increased of a $1.00 per hour for every hour worked after 5:00PM and before 5:00AM! Your company may not be required by law to pay a premium pay but you should check with your state "wage and hour" folks for guidance.

We don't have shift differentials but if your company is under a CBA or if you have a policy on shift differentials, (s)he would be entitled to the differential if they are working those hours.

Does someone on the third shift with similar duties and responsibilities with similar qualifications and length of employment get paid more?

In our organization, yes. The 3rd shift ee would have the same hourly rate as a 1st shift ee with similar experience, duties, etc., however the 3rd shift ee's check would be higher due to the shift differential. Ours are added separately on the check stub.
