and 5:00 a.m. shall receive a 5.5% shift differential (ii) an employee whose regular
work shift contains four or more hours between 5:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. shall receive
a 2.7% shift differential and (iii) an employee whose work shift begins before 6:00 a.m
or ends after 6:00 p.m. shall receive a 1.1 %shift differential.
2. Employees who work the above scheduled times on either an overtime basis or
regular basis, but are not assigned to such shifts as part of their regular schedule are
not eligible to receive shift differential pay.
3. Employees who are assigned a shift schedule that is not identical for each work day of
their work week shall receive a shift differential amount that is equal to the average of
the indicated percentage amounts for each work day. For example, an employee who
works four (4) shifts in a work week is assigned a shift that qualifies for a 5.5% shift
differential three (3) days and a shift that qualifies for a 2.7% differential one (1) day.
The average of the percentage amounts is (3 x 5.5 +2.7)/ 4, or 4.8%.

three-quarters percent (2.75%) while working any shift.

included in the compounding calculation.

compounding referenced above, the one that is highest in the order above is calculated first,
as the applicable percent of the base hourly rate of pay. For each additional special
compensation item on the list above, the value shall be determined by multiplying the next one
received in the above order as a percentage of the base hourly rate of pay plus the value of
the special compensation items already calculated under this method.

hours in a two week pay period is as follows:
