Seasonal Favourites.
The late shift - cleaning, repairs and restocking.
York, England.
According to the UK Government:
Staff who regularly work at least 3 hours during the ‘night period’ are night workers.
The night period is 11pm to 6am, unless the worker and employer agree a different night period.
If they do, it must be 7 hours long and include midnight to 5am. It must be agreed in writing.
Staff may also be night workers if there’s a collective agreement (for example, trade union agreement) that states their work is night work.
The National Minimum Wage applies to night workers but there is not a higher night working rate.
Sleep-in shifts:
The number of hours that workers get paid the National Minimum Wage depends on whether they’re expected to sleep or work for most of their shift.
Workers who are expected to sleep for most of a sleep-in shift (for example, a care worker), and are provided with suitable sleeping facilities, will only get the National Minimum Wage for the periods when they’re awake to perform tasks.
Workers who are expected to work for most of a shift will get the National Minimum Wage for their whole shift, even if they’re allowed to sleep between tasks.
